⚔️ The Official Newsletter For San José State Athletics

TGIF, Spartans. Last night was fun… tomorrow will be EVEN BETTER!

What all is stirring in today’s Brew? Check it out below!

🏈 Happy Homecoming

🏐 The Show Stopper
⚔️ And more!

Secret Walls - known around the globe for artist vs. artist live paint battles - is bringing an intimate mural experience to the San Jose State campus alongside Xfinity on the Connexion Tour. Local artist Stephen Longoria (IG: @steponhen) will create a 90-minute freestyle mural. Students are invited to watch the full process live. 

Additionally, come join Xfinity for a King-of-the-Hill tournament; competitors will have two chances to fight for the top spot on EA Sports FC 25. Each 45-minute tournament starts with one player as the "King" and defends their title against a line of challengers. Winners stay on the field, maintaining their reign, while those who lose must go to the back of the line for another chance at glory. The King will walk away with an EA FC26 gaming code.

🔼 Happy Homecoming. The SJSU football squad will look to keep the offense humming as they get set to welcome Air Force to town for Homecoming, presented by Webcor, this Saturday at 3:00 p.m on FS1.

After a thrilling home win last Saturday night over Hawai’i, the Spartans will be looking for their fourth consecutive homecoming victoyr and fourth straight win at home this season.

In the Spartans' three wins, SJSU has averaged 174.3 rushing yards and 335.7 passing yards.

🔼 Young Gun. Freshman Sam Keightley is making quite a first impression in his debut season with the SJSU men’s water polo squad.

After a five-goal performance against Air Force last weekend, Keightley was named the WCC Newcomer of the Week. It marks the first player of the week award for the sixth-ranked Spartans this season.

SJSU currently sits at 4-1 in WCC play. If the Spartans defeat No. 12 California Baptist on the road next weekend, the Spartans will be crowned co-regular season champions and head into the WCC tournament as a No. 2 seed.

🔼 The Show Stopper. Junior Ava Hewitt-Smith became the first SJSU volleyball player to join the top-10 solo block list since 1996 on Thursday, racking up five blocks, including one solo, in the matchup at Air Force.

Her solo block was her 29th of the season, moving her into a tie for 10th place on the SJSU single-season solo block list with Barbara Higgins (1986).
