The UTA softball team will kick off its 2019 home schedule with the Maverick Invitational this weekend at Allan Saxe Field.
This is after pulling off an impressive series of wins to claim the Getterman Classic in Waco last weekend.
Twice on Saturday the team defeated No. 16-ranked Baylor University, the host of the tournament. The Mavericks then defeated Sam Houston State University in the tournament championship on Sunday.
This was despite the squad losing its first two games of the Classic on Friday.
“That night we all sat together and had, I think, a very good team meeting just to really talk things through,” head coach Peejay Brun said.
