The University of Texas at Arlington (UTA) sports teams are set for a busy week featuring men's and women's basketball games, a track and field invitational, and tennis matches. Schedules include home games for the men's basketball team and road trips for the women, alongside competitions against regional rivals. All events highlight recent performances and historical matchups.
As winter weather persists, UTA Athletics has outlined an action-packed schedule from Thursday through Sunday, spanning basketball, track and field, and tennis.
The men's basketball team, fresh from a victory over Tarleton State University, hosts Southern Utah University at 7 p.m. Thursday in a throwback game at College Park Center. UTA previously defeated Southern Utah 86-77 earlier this month. The Mavericks then welcome California Baptist University at 2 p.m. Saturday at the same venue, aiming to repeat their 63-51 New Year's Day win. Both contests stream live on ESPN+.
Meanwhile, the women's basketball squad travels to Cedar City, Utah, for a 7:30 p.m. Thursday matchup against Southern Utah at America First Events Center, where they fell in a narrow three-point loss last time. The Lady Mavericks continue to Riverside, California, on Saturday at 3 p.m. to face California Baptist at the Dale E. and Sarah Ann Fowler Events Center.
UTA's track and field athletes head to the two-day Robert Platt Invitational on Friday and Saturday at Yeoman Fieldhouse in Houston, Texas. Building on their season opener with top finishes—including sophomore Emilia Mandl in the 800-meter, junior Daniel Armstrong in the 800-meter, and sophomore Ethan Saenz in pole vault—the team seeks to impress.
In tennis, the men's team saw its match against Oklahoma State University canceled due to inclement weather and rescheduled for 10 a.m. Tuesday at Greenwood Tennis Center in Stillwater, Oklahoma. The women's tennis side challenges Texas Christian University at 6 p.m. Sunday at Bayard H. Friedman Tennis Center in Fort Worth, Texas, looking to snap a 20-match losing streak against the Horned Frogs.
This slate offers UTA opportunities to build momentum across disciplines amid conference play.
