Owls Athletics has gotten off to a fresh start for the 2025-2026 season, and fans have a new place to buy their team merchandise this year.
The Owls Athletics Online Team Store is now open. It can be found at https://bsnteamsports.com/shop/chOEzGVaRC.
The store features T-shirts, hoodies, sweats, and other athletic wear emblazoned with Owls Athletics logos.
Fall sports volleyball, soccer, and golf have all been competing at home and on the road, and the men’s and women’s cross-country teams competed recently in Rhodes College Invitational to Memphis.

So far this season, the Owls have not had the hot hand, with a record of 1-5 to get the 2025 season going, but they are hopeful that this is just a fluke as they try to knock the rust off from a long offseason.
Despite this less-than-stellar start for the Owls as a team, Kyle Morris has started this new season on fire with six goals in six games. One goal per game is a video game-like stat line because soccer legend Christian Rinaldo averages around 0.72 goals per game, which just adds to how impressive Morris has been this season.
The Lady Owls soccer team has also had a slow start so far this season, as it is sporting a record of 0-4-1. The team has been somewhat stagnant on offense, only scoring three goals as a team, but it has a goalkeeper who has played outstanding so far this season. Cam Lopez already has 34 saves on the season, and she is sporting a save rate of almost 80 percent, which is remarkable.
The Lady Owls are trying to get some offensive momentum going to pair with the stellar goalkeeping, and when this happens, they are going to be a force to be reckoned with.
Volleyball has senior leaders

The W’s volleyball team is 2-6 in the first eight games, but it is looking to turn things around with some wins in the coming matches.
Starting last Saturday, the Owls volleyball team began conference games under the SLIAC Tri-Match, which runs through the first week of November.
The Owls have several players with an outstanding number of kills for the season, as Madyson McBrayer comes in with 66, Skye Letson with 73 and Megan Neeb with a whopping 86 kills for the year. Coach Breylee Linder is entering her second season at The W, with a 5-19 record and a goal for an improved season as she continues coaching the Lady Owls.
With four seniors on the squad this year, there is a good amount of veteran leadership along with lots of good young talent, and when the Owls pair these two together, combined with hard work and determination, a turnaround might be on the horizon and bring about a very competitive year for the Owls volleyball team.
