TVCC Softball Coach Kathleen Rodriguez notched her 500th career win as a head coach Monday when the Cardinals knocked off Tyler, 5-0, at Drumgoole Field at Cain Park.

"I can't say anything other than I am surrounded by incredible women," Rodriguez said. "They work hard, they do everything they need to. You just guide them in a direction you know will get them there and the fact that they believe in you, and believe in the process, is a big deal."

Rodriguez -- along with her husband, James, who is closing in on his 400th win -- has been the head coach of Cardinal Softball since 2016. She said she's collected her wins over 18 years.

Rodriguez is quick to highlight her players and her husband.

"Even when he wasn't coaching with me at the beginning of my career, he was still coaching with me at the beginning of me career, you know what I am saying," she said. "So I think every single one of these wins are James's wins as well."

This year's Cardinals have been bitten by the injury bug but still have their eyes on a title.

"The fact that they just continue to work and grind through it is pretty special," said Rodriguez.
