ARLINGTON, Texas – The arm of UT Arlington's Gracie Bumpurs and the bat of Morgan Rios led the Mavericks to a 1-0 victory over Sam Houston Wednesday at Allan Saxe Field.

INSIDE THE BOX SCORE: vs. Sam Houston (W, 1-0)
The Mavericks produced three hits Wednesday afternoon as KJ Murphy (1-3), Courtney Ogle (1-2) and Morgan Rios (1-2) all came away with one hit apiece. Rios launched her second home run of the season as it proved to be key in the 1-0 win over Sam Houston.
