UTA started off the season with a 4-3 win over Texas Tech yesterday in Arlington. 425 braved the chilly weather. the mavs take on Tulsa today

ACU has started out horrendously, first a 6-inning loss to Texas AMCC, immediately followed by a 5-inning loss to UTEP. I really hope we can pull it together quickly.

Preseason poll:
1. Grand Canyon (120)
2. Seattle U (109)
3. Stephen F. Austin (88)
4. California Baptist (83)
5. Utah Valley (80)
6. Tarleton (62)
7. Abilene Christian (60)
8. Utah Tech (58)
9. UT Arlington (45)
10. NM State (40)
11. Sam Houston (28)
12. Southern Utah (14)

There’s been some good wins to the year already.

In addition to the 4-3 UTA win over Texas Tech, CBU beat Wisconsin 2-0, Sam beat UTSA 11-10, NMSU beat Colorado St 7-4 and Utah Tech neat St. Mary’s 8-0. There have been some disappointing losses too, but the some teams are showing up.

UTA beat Tulsa 4-3 but lost the nightcap to Texas Tech 0-4 yesterday. over 700 at the game.

We bounce back on Saturday: first beating Murray State 13-12, and then getting revenge on UTEP 8-2.

lady mavs beat Tulsa today to go 3-1 for the weekend. next up Kentucky

GCU goes 5-0 this weekend in Texas with wins over Green Bay (9-0 & 8-0), Incarnate Word (6-0), and Eastern Illinois (6-0 & 9-1).
The Lopes outscored their opponents 38-1 and Emily Darwin pitched GCU's first perfect game during the D1 era. Off to a great start so far.

GCU does not go on the road again until March 17th when they start WAC play at Sam Houston. Their next 22 games are all at home. Wow!

I did baseball, so here's the Monday RPI for softball.

ACU gals have just really had a bad year this year.

GCU lost their first game against a non-PAC12 school when they went down Friday evening to Colorado State 3-4. GCU did avenge the loss today by beating Colorado State 8-3. GCU also defeats Abilene Christian 8-0 (run ruled) and 6-2. Not sure why they are playing a conference foe in a non-conference game.

Lopes are now 24-3. They head to SHSU this coming weekend. Their first trip out of Arizona in over a month.
