With the game tied at 4-4 in the bottom of the sixth, Lace Tangianau put the Lady ‘Runners on top to stay with a long solo shot over the wall in left for the game-winning RBI.

Stephen F. Austin State University regents met to discuss various campus initiatives, approving policy revisions and hearing reports during their recent quarterly meeting.
Judi Kruwell, interim vice president of finance and administration, gave a report on the 2022 budget status and an analysis of changes. She explained the previously reported budget deficit of $19.2 million has been revised to $8.6 million after taking into account contingency expenditures in the budget, housing revenues, investment earnings and other nonbudgeted revenue streams.
Kruwell also reported:
Enhanced budget reporting designed to provide added transparency will more closely align with annual financial reports.
“We want to be able to provide the information that we need in a more timely manner in order to be able to respond to trends that need to be addressed,” Kruwell said.
Regents also approved revised room and board rates for FY23. After completing a fair-market research assessment that examined similar institutions and other factors, regents approved the 5.0% increase in board rates, excluding dining dollars, and a 4.0% increase in on-campus room rates.
Regents also acknowledged the receipt of annual financial reports from institutionally-related entities.
Regents heard reports from SFA President Scott Gordon; Dr. Brian Uriegas, chair of the Faculty Senate; Megan Weatherly, Staff Council chair; and Lauren Roach, Student Government Association president. Regents also approved:

The Angelina College Roadrunners weren’t about to let an opponent’s overall record set up a “trap game” on Saturday – not with positioning in the conference standings on the line.
Facing a Victoria College team with just one win in 20 tries, the Roadrunners took care of business at home, beating the Pirates 73-39 at Shands Gymnasium.
AC dominated from the opening tip, racing out to a 14-0 lead in the first 10 minutes and extending the lead to 31-9 by the end of the first half.
The win pushed AC to 11-12, 7-7 on the season, with the conference record even more important as teams enter the final stretch before the upcoming Region XIV Conference Tournament.
AC’s Caleb Johnson went 7-of-8 from the field to lead the Roadrunners in scoring with 16 points. Raeshaun Ambris added 15 points, nine rebounds and four steals; and Quandre Bullock finished with nine points and seven boards.
Ky Blodget led the Pirates with eight points.
The Roadrunners will travel to Port Arthur on Wednesday to face the Lamar State College-Port Arthur Seahawks. Game time is 7 p.m.
AC’s next home game will be on Saturday, Feb. 19 against Lee College. That game will feature “Orange Out” activities; all fans in attendance are encouraged to wear orange in support of the Roadrunners.
