KEYT on May 4, 2025

Mike Klan

BRYAN-COLLEGE STATION, Texas.- No. 32 UC Santa Barbara Women’s Tennis team (17-9) battled in their NCAA Tournament second round matchup against reigning national champion No. 2 Texas A&M (27-3) on Saturday, which ultimately ended as a 4-1 Aggies win. After dropping the doubles point, the Gauchos had an admirable showing in singles but could not pull off the upset. They end the year with 17 wins, including a Big West Championship and NCAA Tournament win, one of the most successful seasons in recent program history.

THE MATCHFinal: No. 2 Texas A&M 4, No. 32 UC Santa Barbara 1Records: UC Santa Barbara (17-9), Texas A&M (27-3)

HOW IT HAPPENEDThe hosts won the doubles point in quick fashion. After a 6-0 victory on court three, another 6-2 win on court two gave the Aggies a 1-0 advantage into singles.

Almost simultaneously, Raphaelle Leroux earned a singles point on court four—6-1, 6-3—as Texas A&M won 6-3, 6-1 on court five. Shortly after, the Aggies would claim their third point with a 6-2, 6-4 victory on court two. Dropping the first sets on court one and three via tiebreak, and on court six 6-3, the Gauchos’ backs were against the wall.

They stayed confident and resilient in the remaining matches, though, despite the toughness of their opponents. Katarina Vayser won court six’s second set 7-5, and Tyra Richardson dominated to a 6-1 second set victory on court three. No. 16 Amelia Honer came back from down 5-2 against the Aggies’ No. 1 Mary Stoiana, winning four in a row to flip the score 6-5 in her favor. Unfortunately for the Gauchos, Texas A&M would take the third set on court six to clinch the match, 4-1.

IN CONCLUSION…In 2025, UC Santa Barbara Women’s Tennis went undefeated (11-0) against conference opponents on the way to their third Big West Championship of the past five years and fifth of the past nine years. With their win over No. 39 Rice on Friday, the Gauchos reached the second round of the NCAA Tournament for the third time, also doing so in 2022 and 2016.

Amelia Honer soon will graduate as one of the most, if not the most, decorated Gauchos in program history. With five underclassmen in Santa Barbara’s lineups today, the program looks to be in good hands for the years to come.

Family mourns Pueblo 16-year-old killed in crash

KRDO on May 4, 2025

Mackenzie Stafford

PUEBLO, Colo. (KRDO) – Pueblo Police said on Friday, April 25th, Emilio Garcia was ejected from a car that he was a passenger in in a high-speed crash on I-25. For nearly a week, he had been fighting for his life in the hospital, but sadly succumbed to his injuries on Thursday.

Two others in the car were taken to the hospital with serious injuries. The Pueblo Police Department (PPD) is investigating the crash. PPD says the driver of the car Garcia was in could be facing charges. PPD says that the driver ran into another vehicle on the highway at a high rate of speed.

Emilio Garcia was only 16 years old. On Saturday, at UC Health Parkview, family members of Emilio Garcia were able to raise a Donate Life flag in his honor. 

Family members said throughout his life, Emilio Garcia would look out for other kids in the neighborhood. They tell KRDO13 if he knew they didn’t have a safe home to go to, he’d bring them over for dinner and to stay the night. They say he’s still giving back to this day.

“He gets to continue to give that same gift that he would always give to others. You know, they get to live on through him,” explained Augustino Garcia, Emilio’s brother.

His family shared stories of Emilio’s fearlessness. They say he’d never back down from a challenge and was always “one million percent savage” no matter what came his way. Emilio’s family tells KRDO13 he was a smooth talker, able to get out of anything with his smile and kind words.

“He was fearless. And whether it was doing typical boy stuff or helping somebody, whether it was a friend to move or someone needed something, he did it,” shared Sharon Garcia, Emilio’s mother.

Now they’re left grieving the loss of their brother, son and nephew gone too soon, but are grateful he’s able to give life to others. 

“He’s still a hero. His story is not done. His story is still ongoing. And he’s just proving how much of a hero he is to more than just us,” explained Emilio’s mother, Sharon Garcia.

On Saturday, just speaking about Emilio and telling stories of his life brought smiles to the faces of the Garcia family. They say Emilio was always the topic of conversation in their family.

In honor of Emilio’s love for cars and motorcycles, his family is planning a procession for his memorial service. The service will be held on Friday, May 9th, at 2 p.m. at the Pueblo Mt. Carmel Veterans Center.

“I’d love to have as many cars and motorcycles as we can get for him on the road,” shared Emilio’s brother, Augustino Garcia.

If you’d like to help the Garcia family during this difficult time, the family has created a fundraiser that you can find here.

Emilio’s father is calling for justice for his son, telling KRDO13 that someone needs to be held accountable.

Rantanen’s Revenge; Stars’ 3rd period comeback outshines Avalanche in Game 7

KRDO on May 4, 2025

Michael Logerwell

DALLAS, TX. (KRDO) – After tying up the series at three games apiece on Thursday night, the Avalanche went into the American Airlines Center looking to keep their Stanley Cup Dreams alive.

If the Avs win, they will face the winner of the St. Louis Blues and Winnipeg Jets series. That series, also tied 3-3, will play the deciding game on Sunday at 5:00 p.m.

After a neck-and-neck first period with no goals, Logan O’Connor picked the pocket of an attacking Stars player trying to take advantage of a power play. O’Connor had other ideas, flipping the script and finding Josh Manson on the other end of the ice. Mason then put the puck just past Dallas Goalie Jake Oettinger with 9:50 into the second period.

Feeling fresh after the second intermission, Nate MacKinnon added on, bringing the Avs’ lead to 2-0.

But there’s a reason a two-goal lead is the most dangerous lead in hockey.

In less than ten minutes of game time, former Avalanche Star Mikko Rantanen led a three-goal onslaught. Taking back the lead and reminding Colorado what they’re missing.

Rantanen ended the game with a hat-trick, undoubtedly the Star of the game. He even picked up the assist on the one goal he didn’t send directly into the net.

The Avalanche will start their off-season while the Stars get ready for the winner of the Blues vs. Jets series.

Final score: Stars 4, Avalanche 3.
