In match two on Friday, CU will face Southern Arkansas who went 20-14 overall last season and reached the finals of the GAC tournament.

On Saturday the Aggies will face New Mexico Highlands, a team that went 7-21 last season but will begin this year under new head coach Dwight Combs. The final match of the weekend will be against East Central, and they will see a new coach as well in Melissa Anderson. The Tigers ended the 2015 season at 7-21.
