SAN ANTONIO- The University of the Incarnate Word softball team will host Texas A&M- Corpus Christi at home for its first conference series at H-E-B Field. The Cardinals are looking to bounce back after suffering a loss at Jackson State this past Tuesday. Though the loss, UIW is off to one of its best starts in years, including a first time in history win over conference foes Southeastern Louisiana.

THE LAST TIME THEY MET
TAMU-CC (5-2)
The last time the Cardinals and the Islanders faced off, TAMU-CC took home the win to shutout UIW's chances on making the Southland Conference Tournament. In this week's matchup, UIW looks for a chance at redeeming themselves.
Aaliyah Garcia and Baylee Lemons nabbed two hits each with Lemons also getting two RBIs off a double in the top of the fourth. Victoria Altamirano also had hit in the game. Annie Gunther was the only pitcher who faced TAMU-CC in the circle last year.
UIW has had a great season so far but looks to make a name for themselves in SLC play. After being ranked in the bottom three of preseason standings, UIW is currently placed at sixth. In the latest NCAA standings, the Cardinals were second in fielding and had pitcher Larissa Jacquez in the top five for earned strikeouts in seven innings. The future is bright for UIW.
