(2/10/05) - The Mean Green softball team looks for its first win of the season when it competes in the UTSA Fastpitch Express Classic this weekend, beginning with a Friday morning game against Centenary.

North Texas lost to nationally-ranked Texas A&M, 8-0, in its season opener last Friday. The Mean Green put itself in a hole early, allowing the first four batters to get on base. A three-run homer cleared the bases and gave Texas A&M a 4-0 lead after the first inning.

"Our pitch selection wasn’t where it needed to be," said head coach Kelly Burns. "We were letting strikes go by. We have been working on being more aggressive at the plate early in the count at practice this week."

Burns is also working with her team on being more mentally tough.

"We have to control the controllables," said Burns. "After something happens, it’s over and done. We have to learn from it and move on. We are going to play these upcoming games one pitch at a time."

The UTSA Fastpitch Classic Express consists of four teams: Centenary, Texas-San Antonio, Texas-El Paso and Texas A&M-Corpus Christi. Texas A&M-CC is the only team in the tournament to start the season with a winning record at 4-0. Centenary won its first game of the season against Southern Arkansas after dropping its first six games. UTSA lost two games to Texas A&M on Wednesday night and dropped to 0-5 this season, while UTEP is currently at 0-5.

Stay updated throughout the weekend on North Texas’ performance

Yeah, I'm sure it is, but that is rediculus! Why cant they have an even number of games? Not play in one of those tournements where no NT fans will be, and replace it with 5 home games. There you go, an even schedule, and a chance to build more fan base for the SB team.

      7 Home Games Next Year

      No, they are just listed randomly. I feel like our luck's going to run out with the weekday games. I don't remember the last time we had a weeknight home game. Just hope our UTSA/Rice games are on Saturdays.

      Honest tactical question here…

      I agree, although it seemed we slowed it down a bit yesterday. That third touchdown drive that lasted 13 plays and 6:59 without a fourth down conversion needed may have been our best drive all season.

      What a roller coaster of a season for the ladies. Struggle through an absolutely loaded nonconference season. The tough schedule looks like it's worth it by winning your first three, and five of your first seven in the AAC. Then lose seven straight, including two to Memphis, one to UAB, and Temple. Then randomly beat two of the best teams in the conference the last weekend of the regular season to clinch a top 8 seed. As said in another thread, haven't heard good things about Porter from player parents. But to be fair, it's probably not easy attracting the top talent in Texas to play D1 ball in a church gym. My opinion: move the team to the Super Pit. Get your sponsors to pay for their own tarps to cover up the upper levels. The environment won't be the same initially but I can bet you it'll be easier to get more than a "friends and family" crowd, and I'll also bet you most on-campus students couldn't tell you where the volleyball team currently plays.

      Jared seems to be aware of our lack of production from the volleyball standpoint. Hopefully, it merits consideration on the football side of things.

      WBB at Houston (11/24/24)

      If this team can just fix their turnover problem (16 in the first half alone) to maximize their opportunities on offense - whether it's Lampkin in the paint or getting a few more opportunities from deep - they are going to be the class of the AAC again. They played around too much with ACU and similar to the guys against Texas Wesleyan, appeared disinterested in the game against NW State, but they came into Houston and proved they were the better team with authority.
