Arkansas Drops Tuesday Match Against Boston College in Five
While the Hogs took control in the second and third frames, a late surge by the Boston College Eagles forced a fifth set on Tuesday and Arkansas ultimately fell 3-2 (23-25, 25-15, 25-23, 15-25, 12-15).
Outside hitters Lolo Lambert and Parker Duncan led the offensive effort for the Hogs with 19 kills and 12 digs apiece, the former being a career high for both. Sophomore setter Kiki Remensperger paced Arkansas with 45 assists and 11 digs, her third double-double of the season.
In her second outing as Arkansas’ primary libero, redshirt junior Kylie Weeks chipped in a team-high 18 digs, her new personal best. The Hogs tallied 12 team blocks on the night defensively, with five from both Duncan and fellow freshman Journey Peppers.
Set 1
Arkansas slipped to a 3-1 deficit early in the opening set, but the Hogs didn’t need much time to adjust and quickly took a 6-5 lead off a kill from Romani Thurman. BC was never far behind, but Arkansas limited its opportunities and held on to a 15-12 advantage at the media break. The Razorbacks grew their lead to 18-13 shortly after, which prompted an Eagles timeout. From there, Boston College dug deep and went on a 7-2 run to tie it at 20-all. They traded blows from there, but three straight points from the Eagles down the stretch secured the 25-23 set victory for BC.
Set 2
The Hogs quickly shook off the first set and a three-point run that kicked off with a kill from Duncan put them up 9-6. The Eagles couldn’t manage more than one point at a time and Arkansas kept its foot on the gas. A five-point streak with two kills from Thurman and one from Lambert pushed the Razorback advantage to 18-10, and Boston College called for time. It didn’t make much difference and Arkansas kept on going, coming within two of the set victory at 23-12. The Eagles made a bit of a push from there, but one more Hog block made it 25-15 for Arkansas, knotting the match at 1-1.
Set 3
The early part of set three was tight again, but a 5-1 spurt by the Razorbacks helped shift the momentum their way and made the score 12-8. Any chance the Eagles had to catch up didn’t last long until two Arkansas errors and a BC kill made it 17-16 in favor of the visitors quickly. The Eagles kept punching, but the Hogs found a way to answer every time, maintaining a 23-21 lead and forcing Boston College to a huddle. The Razorbacks staved off the Eagles just long enough and a kill from Lambert shut the door on set three for Arkansas 25-23.
Set 4
The Hogs used a big 5-1 run early on, capped off by a huge solo block from Remensperger, and went up 7-3. Boston College quickly responded though and tied it at 8-8. From there, the Eagles scored six of the next eight points and switched the lead to their favor at 14-10. Arkansas had no real response as Boston College rattled off a 9-1 run, making it 24-13. The Razorbacks managed to add two more after that, but Boston College finished it out 25-15 to force a deciding fifth set.
Set 5
The Eagles jumped out to a quick 4-1 lead, but Arkansas chased closely and came within one off a kill from Lambert at 6-5. Boston College kept on going though and had an 8-5 advantage as the teams switched sides. Three straight Arkansas points, including a solo block from Duncan, cut the deficit to one, but the Eagles didn’t let the lead get away. Following a timeout, Arkansas made it 13-12, which had BC huddle. After that though, the Hogs ran out of time as the Eagles finished it 15-12 for the 3-2 match victory.
Up Next

CORNING, Ark. (KATV) — Regulatory Enforcement Agents with the Department of Finance and Administration, along with local police, seized a significant amount of illegal THC products from Pacific Green in Corning on Tuesday.
According to the DFA, more than a dozen agents joined the City of Corning Police in the day-long operation that resulted in two arrests.
DFA agents seized more than 25 pounds of illegal products consisting of flower, vapes, and edibles.
Owner Ben Bennett and employee Sharia Shipman were arrested and both charged with the following:
- Delivery of a Schedule VI controlled substance (Class D Felony)
- Possession of a Schedule VI controlled substance with the purpose to deliver (Class B Felony)
- Controlled substances – Offenses relating to records, maintaining premises (Class C Felony)
- Possession of drug paraphernalia (Class D Felony)
- Unauthorized use of another person’s property to facilitate certain crimes (Class C Felony)
Bennett’s bond was set at $150,000, while Shipman’s bond was set at $100,000.
“In addition to selling illegal products, investigators confirmed violations involving underage access at this location,” said David Potter, Director of the Regulatory Enforcement Division. “This retailer, which was located within 1,000 feet of a school, presented significant public health and safety concerns. We are proud to partner with the Corning Police Department in addressing these violations. We seized a substantial quantity of illegal products, including flower, vapes, edibles, and other items, during the operation. We appreciate the cooperation of local law enforcement and information received from the community that led to yesterday’s operation and stopped this blatant disregard of the law.”
Note: All suspects accused of a crime are presumed innocent unless proven guilty by a court of law.
The Department of Finance and Administration said Arkansans can use Apple Wallet to present their license or ID in person, online and in apps at select organizations, including at more than 250 Transportation Security
IDEMIA Public Security North America and the Arkansas Department of Finance and Administration’s Division of Driver Services and Motor Vehicles have launched Arkansas driver’s licenses and state IDs in Apple Wallet, allowing residents to securely store and use their credentials on an iPhone or Apple Watch.
The new feature gives Arkansans the ability to present their identification at participating businesses and venues, at Transportation Security Administration (TSA) checkpoints in more than 250 airports, and online or within apps when age or identity verification is required.
The launch builds on Arkansas’ ongoing efforts to expand digital identification options. In March 2025, the state introduced the Arkansas Mobile ID app, and officials say adding IDs to Apple Wallet offers residents another secure and convenient way to access their credentials.
“We’re proud to build on our partnership with the Arkansas DFA’s Division of Driver Services and Motor Vehicles, expanding on the launch of the Arkansas Mobile ID app in March 2025. The launch of ID in Apple Wallet in the state provides Arkansas residents a new, secure way to store and present their digital credentials, with transparency and control over how their information is shared at the forefront,” said Rob Gardner, CEO, IDEMIA Civil Identity.
To add an Arkansas driver’s license or state ID to Apple Wallet, users can tap the plus sign at the top of the Wallet app on their iPhone, select “Driver’s License or State ID,” and follow the verification process.
Officials say privacy and security were central considerations in the rollout. Information stored in Apple Wallet is encrypted on a user’s device, and users control when and how their information is shared. When presenting an ID, only the information necessary to verify age or identity is provided.
Apple and the Arkansas Division of Driver Services and Motor Vehicles also do not receive information about when or where residents use their digital IDs.
The technology is also designed to make verification easier for businesses. Participating businesses can use IDEMIA’s Mobile ID Verify app to accept and verify mobile IDs directly from an iPhone without requiring customers to hand over their devices or use additional hardware.
The launch marks another step toward broader adoption of digital credentials in Arkansas, giving residents a secure alternative to carrying a physical driver’s license or state ID while maintaining control over their personal information.
