The Texas A&M University-Victoria softball team is ready for a big week.
Riding a season-high six-game winning streak, the Jaguars (20-10, 11-4) are back at home to host No. 21-ranked Texas A&M-Texarkana in a three-game series at the Victoria Youth Sports Complex this Thursday and Friday. Thursday's doubleheader is slated for 4 p.m. while Friday's series finale is scheduled for 12 p.m.
A&M-Victoria has scored in double digits in each of their last four games after completing a series sweep of University of the Southwest last week. During this current winning streak, the Jaguars have outscored their opponents 61-31.
Offensively, the Jaguars are hitting .429 with 55 RBIs as a team during the winning streak.
A&M-Victoria enters the weekend in fourth place in the Red River Athletic Conference, just two games behind the Eagles (26-7, 13-2) and LSU Alexandria who are tied for second.

The junior from Pasadena, Texas, went 8-for-11 (.727) at the plate last week vs. USW with three doubles and nine RBIs. She joins Alyssa Carter and Madison Carr as the only other Jaguars to win the offensive recognition.
Morales is riding a six-game hitting streak, which has seen her hit .571 with 13 RBIs during that time. This season, she's hitting a team-leading .430 with 29 RBIs, nine doubles, two triples and a home run.
Her RBIs rank second in the RRAC currently.
