CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas – Wrapping up the regular season on Senior Night, Texas A&M-Corpus Christi dropped a 1-0 decision to UIW on Friday at Dugan Stadium.
 
Prior to the game, A&M-Corpus Christi (7-10-1, 5-6-1 SLC) honored Reaghan Lang, Samantha Palomino and Hanleigh Allen in a special Senior Day ceremony.
 
The Islanders will enter the conference tournament as the No. 4 seed. They'll take on fifth-seeded Southeastern at 7 p.m. Wednesday at Dugan Stadium. The fourth-place finish was the highest in program history for A&M-Corpus Christi.
