The University of the Incarnate Word women's volleyball team is set to compete in the UTSA Invitational, looking to improve on their previous season performance.
The Cardinals have started the season with a record of 2-1, with key players contributing significantly to the team's performance: Risa Sena leading with 30 kills and Calissa Allison with impressive stats as well.
Despite their strong start, the Cardinals were ranked eighth in the preseason poll of the Southland Conference, indicating skepticism about their overall standing as they face potentially tougher opponents.
At the UTSA Invitational, UIW will face initial matches against Abilene Christian and Holy Cross, two teams that have their own challenges and aspirations as the season progresses.
If the Cardinals can maintain their momentum and effectively utilize their key players, they have the potential to improve their conference standings and clarify their season prospects.
For success in the UTSA Invitational and the overall season, UIW must capitalize on their strengths and foster team cohesion against competitive opponents.
