WKU softball opens road trip with loss at UT Arlington

The WKU softball team (20-5, 3-0 C-USA) hit the road for its second midweek game of 2020 on Tuesday, and the Hilltoppers saw their 10-game winning streak skid to a halt with a 5-4 decision against Texas-Arlington (12-13, 2-1 SBC) at Allan Saxe Field in Arlington, Texas.

Junior infielder Maddie Bowlds and freshman outfielder Brylee Hage each tallied multi-hit performances for WKU, and despite scoring first, the Hilltoppers still eventually fell to the Mavericks.

“This was obviously not the outcome we wanted, but I’m proud of our efforts to respond after being down in the first inning,” head coach Amy Tudor said in a release.
