Root for the Home Team!
Dear Friends,
UTA spirit continues to climb as a number of spring sports are in full swing. Tonight's baseball game against the 6th-ranked Horned Frogs of TCU has been postponed until Wednesday and will now be played in Fort Worth at 6:30 PM. Softball heads to Denton to play in the North Texas Tournament, while men's and women's golf and tennis teams travel across the country, competing against some of the nation's best programs. Be a part of the Maverick Club to hear the latest news on your favorite UTA sports teams and don't forget to get your tickets to UTA Baseball at Globe Life Park next Tuesday. Go Mavs!
Sincerely,
Julie Barfield
Executive Director of Alumni Relations
