Odessa – The University of Texas Permian Basin softball team were on pace for the best season in program history before the pandemic snuffed out the effort in 2020.
The Falcons are members of the Lone Star Conference and coached by Tiala Tagaloa. She is the longest tenured head softball coach at UTPB, taking over in 2015. Tagaloa served as an assistant at New Mexico State for nine seasons before taking the helm at UT Permian Basin.
The Falcons play their home games at the Women’s Softball Field, located on the north end of the campus by 42nd Street.
