The University of Houston-Victoria is a member of the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA) and participates as a member of the Asso- ciation of Independent Institutions Conference (A.I.I.). The NAIA’s first general session of the ‘organizing convention’ was under the auspices of the National Association of Intercollegiate Basketball (NAIB) and was held in the Phillips Hotel in Kansas City, Mo., on Sunday, March 10, 1940. In 1952, as a result of the expressed desires of the member institutions, appropriate steps were taken by which the NAIB was transformed into the NAIA, and the first all-encompassing set of rules and standards were adopted. With the Association's new name came the addition of national champion- ships in golf, tennis and outdoor track and field. Football, cross country, baseball and swimming and diving were added to the championships calen- dar in 1956. Wrestling (1958), soccer (1959), bowling (1962-78), gymnastics (1964-84), indoor track and field (1966) and men's volleyball (1969-80) were later additions. Today, the NAIA strengthens its commitment to student-athletes and strives to enrich their college experience by supporting academic achievement and character development, The association provides exclusive opportunities for over 45,000 young men and women to achieve academically while competing for the love of the game. 2—2011 JAGUARS SOFTBALL

Infield Two starters return on the infield and both were key offensive weapons last season. First baseman Courtney Pettit and third baseman Allison Hinton should nail down the corners for the Jaguars. The biggest holes to fill will be at second and short. Re- turnee Araceli Galindo is expected to move into the second base position, while freshman Ashley Wine- gart from Corpus Christi Carroll looks to step in at short. Adding depth to the team in the middle will be Blinn transfer Kellie King, while Fort Bend Elkins freshman Tara Williams is expected to backup Pettit. Pettit led the Jaguars with a .390 batting average and 18 doubles, while Hinton, who was named a 2010 Louisville Slugger/NFCA NAIA All-American, led the team with 113 total bases, 64 hits, 45 RBI and 10 home runs.

Catcher UHV will be relying on youth behind the plate this season with two freshman prospects battling for playing time to replace veteran Brittany Faas. Kristina Droz, a three-year starter at Fort Bend Elkins, and former Memorial catcher Marley Moe- hrig will be handling the Jaguars pitching staff this season. But they should also get plenty of tips from Faas, who will serve as a voluntary assistant with the team.

Outfield The Jaguars should have plenty of experienced depth in the outfield with two starters back, along with two transfers.
