ARLINGTON, Texas – The UT Arlington softball team won the Sun Belt Conference series against App State despite the 2-0 loss at Allan Saxe Field Sunday.

The Mavericks sit on an overall record of 16-29 with a Sun Belt record of 9-11.

INSIDE THE BOX SCORE – Game 1 (L, 2-0)
The Mavericks' offense produced just three hits in the contest as senior Courtney Ogle, KJ Murphy and sophomore Reagan Hukill finished with one hit each.

Senior JoJo Valencia got the start on Senior Day in the circle and went on to throw two innings allowing one hit.

Junior Laura Henriksen replaced Valencia on the mound and allowed two runs off three hits. The right hander faced seven batters before sophomore Kenedy Hines came in.

Hines threw three innings and limited the Mountaineers' offense to just two hits as UTA could not plate any runs across giving Henriksen the loss.
