CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas – The defending champions of Texas A&M-Corpus Christi women's tennis will be back in action looking to defend their historic success when they get underway with the 2026 Southland Conference slate at home this weekend.
The Islanders (10-1) will face SFA Saturday at 12 p.m. in a rematch of last year's championship matchup before taking on Northwestern State Monday at 10 a.m. at the Thomas J. Henry Tennis Center.
The weekend will begin their quest towards a fourth consecutive regular season championship after the Islanders raised the trophy every year since 2023. Last year's title took their championship total to 14 combined with their seven conference tournament titles (and thus seven NCAA tournament appearances), the most in Southland Conference history.
