Winning Streaks Highlight ASU Hornet Sports Report

MONTGOMERY, Alabama -- Winning streaks of the football, volleyball, and soccer teams, along with success of the cross country programs highlight this week's edition of the new Alabama State University Hornet Sports Report television show.

Launched in late September to spotlight the academic and athletic accomplishments of nearly 400 student-athletes in 18 Division I programs, the program also features a compliance tip of the week, increasing the knowledge of NCAA rules and regulations for all Hornet student-athletes, staff, alumni, and supporters of Alabama State University.

"We are excited to debut this new program to spotlight the accomplishments of our student-athletes, both in competition and in the classroom," Interim Athletic Director Melvin Hines said. "This show will profile our great students-athletes, coaches, programs and our University."

The show airs Friday afternoons on demand at bamastatesports.com and locally in Montgomery on WFRZ-TV Friday evenings at 9:30 p.m.

All of the fall sports teams are on roll heading into mid-October: football (four straight wins), volleyball (seven straight), and soccer (four straight), along with the men's and women's cross country teams winning its last meet. The women's program is contending for its third straight Southwestern Athletic Conference title later this month. Plus, the show takes a look at the men's and women's basketball teams' opening of fall practice, and news and notes from ASU Athletics.
