INSIDE THE BOX SCORE: vs. #2 California Baptist (L, 4-1)
UTA totaled five hits on the day as senior Morgan Westbrook went 2-3 at the plate. The veteran was responsible for the Mavericks' lone run after a clutch RBI-single through the right side in the bottom of the first.
Kaylee Cavazos (1-3), Nicole Hill (1-2) and Valerie Ornelas (1-3) all contributed to the Mavs' offense with one hit apiece.
Head coach Kara Dill gave freshman Abi Gutierrez the start in the circle for UTA as she went on to throw just over three innings of work. The lefty allowed three earned runs off seven hits before junior Jessica Adams tossed the remainder of the contest. Adams limited the Lancers' offense to just one hit as she came away with one strike out.
With the Mavericks unable to file a comeback, Gutierrez was handed the loss.
