The Mavericks put 10 hits together in game one of the doubleheader as KJ Murphy paced UTA's offense going 3-4 at the plate with a 2-run home run – her sixth of the year – with three RBI. Following Murphy was second baseman Jessica Carreon who went finished with two hits.

Morgan Max earned the start in the circle for the Mavs as she went on to allow just one earned run off just two hits. Max came away with five strike outs in the four innings pitched.
