Softball Picks Up Scrap Yard Blizzard Challenge this Weekend

Islanders Game Notes

CONROE, Texas – A change of destinations is on tap for the Texas A&M-Corpus Christi softball program as it will now partake in the Scrap Yard Blizzard Challenge on Saturday and Sunday at the Scrap Yard Sports Complex.
 
A&M-Corpus Christi (0-0) was originally supposed to play in the North Texas Tournament this weekend but changed its plans after it was canceled.
 
Saturday will mark the season opener for the Islanders, who didn't get to play last weekend at Texas A&M due to the tournament being canceled.
 
A&M-Corpus Christi will be going for its first-ever win against Oklahoma State (2-0). It will be the fourth and fifth meetings all-time, and the first since 2012. OSU defeated Arkansas 12-11 and Louisiana Tech 8-0 last weekend.
 
It will be the first-ever meeting between A&M-Corpus Christi and Tarleton State (0-0), which had its three-game series at Northwestern State canceled last weekend.
 
The Islanders are 4-2 all-time against Wichita State (0-0). Though, the Shockers took the last meeting 14-4 last season.
 
Head coach Kristen Zaleski enters her second season at the helm. Her first season was cut short due to COVID-19. Zaleski arrived from Temple College where she compiled a 413-127 overall record in nine seasons. She led Temple to the NJCAA Division I national title in 2018.
