University of the Incarnate Word

The Incarnate Word women’s golf program welcomed its newest member to UIW this past week, as Samantha Martinez signed her letter of intent to play for the Cardinals.

Martinez is a graduate of South Side High School in San Antonio where she finished in the top ten percent in her class. At South Side, she won the District 29-4A girls golf tournament 3-of-4 years and was a Class 4A State Tournament Qualifier for two seasons. She was also an Express News All-City Super Team member and placed in the top 10 in nine tournaments she competed in for her senior season.

Off the golf course, Martinez was a South Side Cardinal Red Jacket team member and a National Dance Alliance All-American dancer. Her parents are Raul and Cynthia Martinez and her older sister, Amanda, played golf for Texas Tech.

Samantha plans to major in mathematics at Incarnate Word.
