Despite leading in every game, Houston softball dropped all four of its games over the weekend to No. 22 UCF to open up American Athletic Conference play.
Here’s a look at how each game went:
Friday (Doubleheader)
UH struck first in Friday’s opening game in the top of the third, as senior outfielder Lindsey Stewart-Vaughn hit a sacrifice fly to drive in sophomore catcher Kati Ray Brown and give the Cougars a 1-0.
Junior pitcher Rachel Hertenberger cruised through her first four innings of work, keeping the UCF bats quiet. Hertenberger got into a jam in the fifth but was able to work out of it, keeping it a 1-0 game.
