ABILENE - Abilene Christian softball will host Tarleton for a three-game series this weekend as a rivalry is renewed in WAC play. The teams split a home-and-home last season with each team winning on their home turf. This will be the first of two three-game series and the Wildcats are looking to make an impact early. The Wildcats are coming off a sweep on the road at Lamar last weekend but will have a tough test against a Texans team sitting at 17-7 and 3-0 in WAC play.
