SUMMARY: In a historic move, Leilina Armenta became the first female to kick in a game in Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCU) history. Armenta, a freshman on the Jackson State women's soccer team, was added to the football roster due to injuries. Although not the first female member of an HBCU football program, she made history for Jackson State. Despite her one-time appearance, Jackson State went on to win the game against Bethune Cookman. Armenta's feat came on the same day that Haley Van Voorhis of Division III Shenandoah University became the first non-kicker woman to play in an NCAA game.

SUMMARY: In a crucial Charlottesville Regional game, Mississippi State narrowly missed taking Virginia into extra innings due to a botched double-play by second baseman Amani Larry. Virginia took an early 2-0 lead, countered by a three-run homer from Mississippi State's Hunter Hines. Despite strong pitching from Jurrangelo Cijntje, the game was tied in the seventh. In the ninth, Virginia capitalized on a ground-rule double and ensuing errors to win. Mississippi State faces St. John's in an elimination game, with the winner needing two victories against Virginia to advance. The Cavaliers need just one more win for a super regional spot.
