SAN ANTONIO –UTSA softball is set to appear on 37 different dates in the 2019 schedule, announced on Friday by head coach Michelle Cheatham.
"One of the main focuses of the upcoming season is learning how to compete when not in the comfort of our home facility," Cheatham said. "The pre-conference schedule will give us the opportunity to challenge this team with improving in that area. Great teams compete at the same level regardless of the venue and learn how to be comfortable in uncomfortable circumstances. We are excited about the level of play that we will be competing against throughout this schedule both at home and on the road."
