LUBBOCK, Texas -
Taylor Goulet turned in a three-hit afternoon, while
Paige Tamayo and
Tara Solomon both turned in multi-hit games as the Texas Woman's University softball team (4-19, 3-15 Lone Star Conference) dropped a pair of games to Lubbock Christian (23-10, 11-7), falling 7-1 and 10-2 to the Lady Chaps on Friday.
In the opener LCU jumped ahead with three in the first and three in the third before a double by Goulet plated the Pioneers' lone run. LCU answered in the bottom of the frame to set the game score at its final margin.
Solomon turned in two hits in the game.
Jalee McDonald took the loss after surrendering seven runs, four of which were earned, in six innings of work.
In the nightcap, again the Lady Chaps jumped ahead but the Pioneers fired back in the third inning, using a two-run single by Tamayo to jump ahead 2-1. The lead was short-lived, however, as a three-run third gave LCU the lead, and the Lady Chaps scored two more in the fourth and four more in the fifth to set the game's final score.
Tamayo and Goulet had two hits apiece.
Kelsie Briggs suffered the loss in the circle for TWU.
The Pioneers conclude the road swing on Sunday with a 1 p.m. doubleheader at Angelo State.
