LUBBOCK, Texas - After several weeks of individual workouts and team practices in preparation for the upcoming 2006 season, the Texas Tech softball team will participate in the its only action of the fall season this weekend as it travels to Houston, Texas, to take part in the Houston Fall Tournament.
The Red Raiders will play six games over the weekend at the tournament, which is being hosted by the University of Houston. Friday, Tech will open play with a match-up against Blinn College at 7 p.m., before returning to action on Saturday to face Southern Miss at 9 a.m., Houston at 11 a.m. and San Jacinto at 3 p.m.. The tournament will conclude on Sunday as the Red Raiders will battle Galveston College in a 9 a.m. contest.
"We have had a great fall with six weeks of progression and I hope that this weekend we are able to stay with that and improve on our fundamentals," said Texas Tech head coach Teresa Wilson. "I want our players to look at this weekend as an opportunity to go out and have some fun while continuing to prepare themselves for the upcoming season. I want the focus of this tournament not to be on the outcomes of the games, but on the chance we have to continue to progress and get ready for the beginning of the season in February."
Texas Tech softball will kick off the 2006 season in Jacksonville, Fla., on February 9th with a doubleheader match up against Jacksonville University.
