ARLINGTON, Texas – It was a pitcher's duel in Arlington Tuesday night as UTA ultimately fell short to SFA with a final score for 2-0.

Despite a home run in the first inning, freshman pitcher Jessica had an otherwise solid performance on the mound as the right-hander threw a complete game against the Ladyjacks.
