The UHV women's soccer team will kick off its Red River Athletic Conference schedule on Thursday when Texas College comes to town at 1 p.m. Thursday.
The Jaguars (1-0-2) are coming off a 2-0 win over Concordia-Texas on Saturday and hope to build off a 7-1-3 conference campaign last season that saw them finish a program-best second in conference play.
"We improved in our first three games and prepared ourselves for the conference schedule," said head coach Adrian Rigby. "On Saturday, we did a good job with our game plan. We put pressure on early and finished the game strong. We need that energy as we start conference play."
UHV has seen strong offensive production early in the season, scoring seven goals in three games. The Jaguars' 18.3 shots per games is good enough for fourth in the conference.
Clara Strand scored both goals in Saturday's win to up her team-leading goal tally to three. The sophomore from Tranas, Sweden, has scored 14 goals in 19 total matches during her career.
Her three goals rank fourth in the RRAC with five other players while her 11 shots ranks sixth in the conference.
In addition to Strand, Estelle Flanagan, Kaitlyn Kongdara, Katerin Morales and Kaydee Cox have each found the back of the net this season.
Flanagan, Strand, Yasly Escobar, Kaitlyn McCarty and Audilia Vargas have each provided an assist. Freshman defender Trine Stenderup-Jorgensen leads the team with three assists, which ranks third in the conference.
"Our offense has performed well so far," Rigby said. "We've had a lot of people step up and contribute in the first three games. If we can keep that up, we'll have success."
UHV enters Thursday unbeaten in their last 10 regular season matches.
This will be the ninth all-time meeting between UHV and Texas College (0-1-0) with the Jaguars holding an 8-0 edge in the series. In the last meeting at The Cage in 2021, the Jaguars won 9-0 behind hat tricks from Mia Martinez and Tori Sifuentes.
