TEMPE, Ariz. – The University of New Mexico softball team wrapped up the Kajikawa Classic on Sunday morning with a tight 1-0 victory over UC Riverside. The Lobos are now 4-1 on the season, which is the second-best start under head coach Erica Beach.
"This was a great test for the team," said Beach. "It takes a lot of mental toughness to win a 1-0 ball game. This team stepped up to the challenge and fought hard against a good UC Riverside ball club."
It was a pitcher's duel through the first four innings before the Lobos put up the lone run of the game in the fifth inning.
