Albany, Ga. — As Albany State Athletics heads into Easter weekend, the Golden Rams are building momentum across multiple programs following a week highlighted by a dominant baseball series win and strong showings on the court and track.
Baseball headlined the week with a statement performance, bouncing back from a midweek setback against Columbus State with an impressive three-game sweep over Clark Atlanta. After falling 7-2 earlier in the week, the Golden Rams responded with energy and execution, outscoring the Panthers 31-14 across the series. The offense came alive with timely hitting, power at the plate, and aggressive baserunning, while the pitching staff delivered key outs in critical moments to secure all three victories. The sweep not only showcased Albany State's depth but also set a confident tone as the team continues conference play.
On the tennis courts, the Lady Golden Rams faced a tough non-conference matchup against Middle Georgia. Despite the final score, Albany State found a bright spot in singles play, where
Monique Gundrum delivered a strong straight-sets victory at the No. 1 position. Her performance highlighted the team's competitiveness and provided momentum heading back into conference action.
Meanwhile, Albany State's track & field teams turned in one of their most complete performances of the season at the Morehouse Relays in Atlanta. The Lady Golden Rams led the charge with a second-place team finish, powered by multiple event wins and podium performances across sprints, distance, and field events. The men's team also competed at a high level, finishing fourth overall behind several standout individual efforts and relay performances. The weekend reflected the program's depth and continued growth as the outdoor season progresses.
With March coming to a close, Albany State now shifts its focus to a busy and competitive week ahead.
