UH softball competed against the Prairie View Panthers Tuesday night in Cougar Softball Stadium. Houston defeated the Panthers 7-2 after a four-run first.
Graduate utility Taylor Edwards picked up the win after giving up three hits in her 5.2 innings of relief on the mound.
Before the Cougars stepped up to the plate, the Panthers took their only lead early after a pair of Houston errors.
A sacrifice fly off the bat of graduate utility player Bree Cantu allowed junior infielder Lair Beautae to score the Cougar’s first run of the night.
Freshman outfielder Mikalah Nitta hit a double and advanced to third on the throw.
