Arlington, Texas - Despite a long ball down the left field line by pitcher Teri Lyles, it wasn't enough to overcome the visiting Cowgirls of McNeese State as they recorded a 2-1 win Sunday afternoon at Allan Saxe Field.
The loss dropped the Mavs to 25-20 overall and 15-10 in conference action.
Prior to the start of the game, the Maverick's five seniors were honored for their hard work and dedication throughout their four year career. Samantha Chumchal, Heather Collie, Heather Fortenberry, Cara Hulme and Brittany Washington were escorted by their families and presented framed jerseys.
As a team the Mavs scattered five hits with the only run coming off the bat of Lyles. Lyles led the Mavericks offensively finishing 2-for-3 with a homer. The solo home run came in the sixth frame and was the true freshman's second of her career.
Unfortunately Lyles was unable to get it done on the mound, dropping her overall record to 12-11. The Keller, Texas native allowed two runs on five hits in 7.0 innings pitched.
Both of the Cowgirls runs came in the third inning after Lindsey Langner and Liz Morvant connected on back-to-back doubles.
The Mavs will now travel to A&M-Corpus Christi for their final three-game conference series, beginning Saturday, May 1 with a double-header. Game time is set for 1 and 3 p.m.
