Box Score

LAS CRUCES, N.M. - The UT Arlington softball team bounced back from an extra inning loss earlier with a 3-2 win over Illinois-Chicago on Friday at the Hotel Encanto Invitational.

Sophomore Brittany Washington hit a walk-off home run in the top of the seventh to lift the Mavs (2-5) past the Flames (2-3).

Illinois-Chicago put the first run on the board in the second frame and added another run in the fourth inning to lead 2-0.

In the sixth, UTA tied it up when senior April Clougherty hit and RBI triple to plate fellow senior Amanda Swofford, and then crossed home herself on an error by the catcher.

Freshman Cassandra Nordie (1-0) picked up her first win of the season, recording six strikeouts and giving up zero walks in seven innings of work.

UTA is scheduled to face first-time opponent North Dakota State at 7 p.m. in its second day of action at the Hotel Encanto Invitational.
