Haylie Savage hits at a .327 clip and ranks fifth in the Southland in total hits. She leads the Huskies with four homers and 25 RBI and has 12 multi-hit games, second only to Garcia's 15.

UTSA comes into the Tuesday contest at 6-27 overall and 2-7 in Conference USA play after being swept in a conference series by Florida International in Miami.

Tuesday will mark the 30th meeting all-time with UTSA holding a 22-7 lead in the series. The two schools last met in Houston last March 1, with the Roadrunners claiming a 9-1 victory.
