On March 14, the Southland Conference announced all remaining competitions and championships for the 2020 season would be canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Several HBU seniors in men's and women's golf, track and field, beach volleyball, softball and baseball had just begun their final seasons and did not have the opportunity to complete their athletic careers and compete for a conference championship.

HBU Athletics is honoring each of those seniors with their own Senior Day here on HBUHuskies.com. Each weekday for seven weeks, a different senior will be featured, so please make sure to retweet, like and reply to the Twitter post to show them how much you support them and appreciate how much they have meant to the HBU community.

Catcher Matt Solomon - Baseball

Senior catcher Matt Solomon's 2020 season went out — literally — with a bang. In his final at-bat of the final game of the season on March 10, an 11-6 victory over Texas A&M-Corpus Christi, he blasted a solo home run to leftfield in the seventh inning that hit the Morris Cultural Arts Center on the fly. Solomon finished the game 2-for-5 with a home run, a double, two RBIs and two runs.

The Katy, Texas, native was one of two Huskies leading the team with two home runs. His other was a three-run shot against Ball State on Feb. 22.

As a junior, Solomon appeared in 25 games, tallying three doubles, a home run, four RBIs and four runs. He delivered a pinch-hit home run at No. 23 Texas A&M on Feb. 26, 2019, and doubled and scored three runs against Prairie View A&M on March 12. Solomon was also named to the Southland Conference Commissioner's Honor Roll.

"My favorite memory at HBU was finding out I was able to graduate on time," Solomon said. "My experience here has allowed me to open up my vision to a broader spectrum of events. If I am able to return next year, I'm looking forward to getting back on the field and winning with my teammates, as well as getting my Master's degree."
