AUSTIN, TX – For the first time in nearly a calendar year, The University of Texas softball program swept a Big 12 Conference opponent at Red & Charline Field when the Longhorns knocked off Texas Tech, 8-3, on Sunday.
The win not only capped a three-game sweep of the Red Raiders (26-11) but was also the 30th win on the season for Texas, which moved to 30-5-1. The last time the Longhorns swept a Big 12 opponent at home was April 1-3, 2022, when they knocked off Iowa State: 7-5, 11-10 (8 innings) and 7-2.
Unlike the previous two games in the series, Texas wasted little time getting into the run column as the Longhorns plated three runs on one hit in the bottom of the first.
