NATCHITOCHES, La. – In its first Southland Conference match of 2021, the Texas A&M-Corpus Christi women's tennis program will travel to Northwestern State for an 11 a.m. match Sunday at the Jack Fisher Lady Demon Complex.
 
A&M-Corpus Christi was scheduled to play Central Arkansas on Friday but the match was postponed. A make-up date has not yet been set.
