Before this weekend, the Aggies have played just two games away from the Lady Aggies Softball Complex. In addition, the Aggies have played only one true road game this season, a 10-2 loss in five innings to the University of North Carolina in Chapel Hill. However, the Aggies have taken advantage of their home field, going 8-4 at The Complex. 

Head coach Patti Raduenz is in her third season at A&T. The COVID-19 pandemic cut her first season to only 23 games played. Raduenz then led the Aggies to the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference (MEAC) Southern Division title in her second year.
