TAMIU Annual Report 2021

Women’s junior Yuliana Yapur placed eighth in the LSC Tournament and men’s senior Parker Holekamp was the runner-up. Volleyball saw a 6-11 mark and 4-8 conference record under first year coach Brittany Harry and clinched a spot in the LSC Tournament. After the season ended, TAMIU entered the AVCA Division II Women’s National Championship with a strong 3-2 showing, defeating a top 10 team at that very tournament. Men’s soccer did not have LSC Tournament fortunes, but played .500 soccer on the year with a 3-3-2 mark, with five players being named All-LSC. Women’s soccer did however make the LSC Tournament behind first year head coach Jon Hussak, after a 3-3-1 regular season and a record of 3-4-1 after hosting a LSC Tournament match. First year head coach Phillip Middleton led baseball in the spring, and while the record was 9-26 for the first-year coach, the Dustdevils were rarely out of games and are another team with a bright future ahead. Softball also had an exceptional year, finishing sixth in the LSC with a 26-19 record and 18-12 conference mark, earning a trip to the LSC Tournament. In the tournament, TAMIU upset #3 Texas A&M-Commerce and made it to the semifinals of the tournament with that victory, coming very close to earning a spot in the NCAA Tournament.
