NACOGDOCHES, Texas – The UT Arlington softball team (15-18, 5-5) picked up a big road win Sunday night as the Mavericks claimed game one of the three-game series at Stephen F. Austin with a final score of 6-3.
 
The Lumberjacks currently rank #2 in the Western Athletic Conference with a 6-3 record heading into this weekend's series. Solid defense and timely hitting led the Mavericks to the win, handing SFA its fourth loss in conference play.
