BISMARCK, N.D. – Valley City State University had three athletes compete in the U Mary Tune Up on Wednesday, April 30. Viking Tayshaun Robinson recorded a first-place finish in 110-meter hurdles while Sadie Hanson took first in the javelin with a 35.20-meter throw.
 
Viking freshman Tayshaun Robinson took first place in the 110-meter hurdles running a 14.79. His time is currently the 26th fastest time recorded in the NAIA this spring. Robinson looking to nationally qualify will need to run a 14.50 to guarantee a spot at nationals.
 
Viking senior Sadie Hansen took first place in the javelin throwing a 35.20-meter throw. Hansen qualified for nationals in the javelin in her junior season. She is looking for a 40.34-meter throw to earn an automatic bid to nationals.
 
VCSU’s sophomore Olivia Backus tied her personal best and was just four centimeters away from a national qualifying jump recording a 1.62-meter successful attempt at the U Mary tune up. She earned fourth in the high jump.

Braintree boys volleyball ends strong season with 3-1 loss in D-I state tournament

BRAINTREE — “The story is not over,” Braintree junior Jack Goddeeris said. But Goddeeris and The Wamps’ (16-6) 2025 season ended on Monday night after suffering a heartbreaking 3-1 (20-25, 25-22, 25-23, 27-25) loss to No. 9 Acton-Boxborough in the Round of 16 of the D-I state tournament.

BRAINTREE — “The story is not over,” Braintree junior Jack Goddeeris said.

But Goddeeris and The Wamps’ (16-6) 2025 season ended on Monday night after suffering a heartbreaking 3-1 (20-25, 25-22, 25-23, 27-25) loss to No. 9 Acton-Boxborough in the Round of 16 of the D-I state tournament.

The final score doesn’t give justice to the fight the Wamps displayed all game and all season long. No matter how many points they would go down, they would fight right back into it.

“They are cohesive and adaptable. Adaptability was their superpower,” Braintree coach Roberta Stannard said. “All these guys know the full game, so I can’t ask for more than that. I’ve got a whole arsenal sitting here.”

Braintree scored at least 20 points in each set, highlighting the gritty playstyle that led the Wamps to their second consecutive league title in 2025 and the No. 8 spot in the D-I state tournament.

“I’m proud of what they did; they should be proud of what they did,” Stannard said. “Their season was amazing, probably the best in school history.”

After winning the first set 25-20, the Wamps found themselves trading blows with the Revolution (13-6) throughout the following three sets, each of which came down to just two points.

When the fourth set rolled around, with Acton-Boxborough leading 2-1, the energy inside the gymnasium started to pick up. Braintree was playing desperately to avoid the loss, and the fans and bench both knew it.

“The energy on the bench is like the seventh player,” Stannard said. “We have a couple incredibly enthusiastic guys, and they were the ones that would put us over the top. They were the ones in the huddles saying ‘keep going, keep going, keep going.’”

For Goddeeris, hearing the noise motivated him and his squad to play harder. They dove for loose balls, putting their bodies on the line.

Every time Goddeeris or senior Justin Liu would spike down a thunderous kill from their outside hitter spots, the crowd would respond in fashion. Every time the sole sophomore on the team, Allan Ho, would dive for a dig, the bench would jump up and shout its approval.

“That energy just compounds,” Goddeeris said. “You hear the fans, you hear your teammates, the coach, and it all kind of builds together. Even if you lose the point, it almost feels like a victory because you’ve succeeded in some way.”

Yet, when the ball hit the hardwood for the final time, signifying an Acton-Boxborough victory, the crowd fell silent. Only to be broken up a few seconds later by the cheers of the Revolution squad as they celebrated clinching their way to the quarterfinals.

“It was a blast,” Goddeeris said. “I haven’t had that kind of experience with volleyball in a long time, and I’m really disappointed that we couldn’t pick up a win for all the guys in the crowd.”

With nine seniors on the squad, Goddeeris knows that this team won’t look the same come next season.

The junior is already starting to think long-term, planning his revenge for the 2026 season. Goddeeris wants to return to this spot next year and change how it will end for the Braintree volleyball team.

“Im super proud of all these boys,” Goddeeris said. “I’m super happy that we made it this far, and the story is not over. We still got more stuff to do.”

SANTA CLARA, Calif.- The Santa Clara University women’s beach volleyball team reached the West Coast Conference Championship final for the first time in program history, finishing off their 2025 season with a historic end. They secured a second-place conference finish, the highest in their program history. 

The tone for the team’s final stretch was established by the season’s last home game. The Broncos defeated San José State University in an exciting 3-2 victory on April 9. In addition, the game was a celebration of the two seniors, honoring student manager Annamarie Van Buiten ’25 and graduate student Holland Jackson ’25. 

Jackson, paired with Noelle Niederman ’27 at the No.1 doubles spot, had a key role in the Senior Day bout. After losing the opening set 17-21, the pair fought back to win the next two sets 21-19 and 15-11, giving the Broncos an early advantage.

At the No. 4 spot, Ava Stoddard ’28 and Callie Loughran ’28 defeated Sabrina Moore and Anna Salmon of San Jose State in straight sets, 21-15 and 21-18.

At the No. 3 seed, for a winner-takes-all matchup, Ciara Cantlen ’28 and Alexandra Urbina ’27 mounted clutch performances to help the Broncos win the duel. They lost the opening set 22-24 but quickly recovered to win the following two 21-15 and 15-6.

After the thrilling home victory, the Broncos had to contend with other West Coast teams in the competitive Stanford Invite. They defeated the University of California, Davis 3-2 to start the weekend on a high note, but then unfortunately lost to Stanford University, University of Washington and University of California, Berkeley. Nevertheless, heading into the WCC Championship tournament, the Broncos were still ahead of the competition.

On April 24, they defeated the University of San Francisco 5-0 to start the tournament. Later that day, they lost to Loyola Marymount University, a difficult opponent. The Broncos battled back on April 25 and put together three massive wins: a thrilling 3-2 victory over Pepperdine University, a 3-1 victory over Saint Mary’s College of California and a second sweep of USF.

For the first time in program history, the Broncos reached the WCC title match—a rematch against LMU. No. 3 seed Ciara Cantlen and Alexandra Urbina dropped their match in straight sets, 21-11 and 21-13. At No.4, Kawena Chillingworth ’28 and Teagan Wilson ’28 fell short  21-7, 21-10, while Callie Loughran ’28 and Ava Stoddard ’28 battled, but ultimately lost 21-13, 21-19 at the No. 5 seed. Despite the team’s loss to LMU in the championship game, the Broncos’ performance won them a well-deserved second-place finish. 

Looking forward, Bronco Beach volleyball focuses on continuing to grow and develop its young roster to build on this season’s success.

California State University, Bakersfield has announced that head swimming & diving coach Chris Hansen will not return as the program’s director next season. He will retire from collegiate coaching after 17 years leading the program.

“We appreciate Chris for his many years of service to CSUB,” said Kyle Conder, Assistant Vice President and Director of Athletics. “We wish him well in his future endeavors.”

The school’s press release did not reference Hansen being on paid administrative leave since returning from the Big West Championships in February.

his past season, the Roadrunner women’s team placed 5th out of six teams at the 2025 Big West Championships, while the men finished 5th out of five teams, with junior Vili Sivec winning conference titles in the men’s 100 and 200 fly.

Following the Big West meet, CSUB sent Sivec to the Bulldog NCAA Qualifying Meet, where he set a new school record in the 100 free in a time of 41.98, which ultimately saw him fall short of the NCAA Championship cutline by three one-hundredths of a second.

Sivec also set new school records in the 50 free (19.27), 200 free (1:33.48), 100 fly (45.61) and 200 fly (1:43.13) during the season.

In 2023-24, CSUB competed at the Mountain Pacific Sports Federation Championships, with the women placing 5th out of 10 teams and the men taking 6th out of seven teams.

In 2019-20, the team’s last season in the Western Athletic Conference (WAC), Hansen coached Autumn D’Arcy to three individual conference titles, earning her WAC Swimmer of the Year honors, while Mikayla Popham won Freshman of the Year honors.

In 2014 and 2015, he coached Mitchell Huxhold as the school’s first NCAA Division I Championships qualifier. He earned an All-America honor in 2014 by finishing 16th in the 500 free and was named the WAC Male Athlete of the Year honor across all sports.

Hansen is also the managing director of Roadrunner Aquatics, a USA Swimming team based in Bakersfield.

Prior to taking over at CSUB, Hansen spend four seasons as the head assistant coach at the University of North Carolina, and as the head assistant coach at UNLV. He also spent two seasons as the head coach at Virginia Tech, including being named the 1998 Atlantic 10 Coach of the Year.

Other collegiate stops include as the head assistant at East Carolina, and brief stints as an assistant at UNC and Villanova.

The 2025 Division I men’s and women’s outdoor track and field championships will see seven returning champions attempt to defend their titles. Here’s a look at who’s trying to repeat when the championships hit Eugene, Oregon.

Men’s shot put: Tarik Robinson-O’Hagan | Ole Miss

Can Tarik Robinson-O’Hagan make it four in a row in the men’s shot put? The Bowerman candidate will attempt his second consecutive season sweep in Eugene.

If he pulls it off, he’ll be the first since Arizona State’s Jordan Clarke to win four straight shot put tiles (2011 outdoor, 2012 sweep, 2013 indoor) and the first since Arizona State’s Ryan Whiting to pull off consecutive sweeps (2009-10). Whiting won five straight titles, for reference.

Samuel is hoping it’s another NCAA title. But he’ll face stiff competition, even from his own teammate who broke his 10,000 meter NCAA record.

Women’s 3000 meter steeplechase: Doris Lemngole | Alabama

Speaking of records, Alabama’s Doris Lemngole has solidified herself as the greatest 3000 meter steeplechase runner in NCAA history. She broke the record she ran at the 2024 championships during the regular season this year, finishing in 9:10.13. At the East meet, she ran another all-time mark, giving her the top three times in NCAA history.

Men’s long jump: JC Stevenson | Southern California

USC’s JC Stevenson helped lead the Trojans end a 53-year title drought during the indoor season. However, no Trojan man won an individual title indoors. JC Stevenson will look to change that narrative outdoors with a repeat in the long jump.

Women’s high jump: Rose Yeboah (Illinois) AND Elena Kulichenko (Georgia)

A tie has split the NCAA women’s high jump title at the most recent indoor and outdoor meets. When looking back at 2024’s outdoor meet, both student-athletes from the top of the podium return this year — Illinois’ Rose Yeboah and Georgia’s Elena Kulichencko.

Yeboah will be looking to return to first place after finishing sixth indoors. Meanwhile, Kulichencko was also atop the podium with a tie during the indoor season, so she’ll try to make it three straight high jump titles. She would be the first to achieve the feat since Texas A&M’s Lamara Distin did so from 2022-23.
