TWU FALLS SHORT AGAINST MIDWESTERN STATE IN ROAD DOUBLEHEADER

WICHITA FALLS, Texas (Feb. 28, 2025) – The Texas Woman's University softball team kicked off their road trip in Wichita Falls, but came up empty-handed in a pair of games against Midwestern State. TWU (9-5, 5-5) fell short in both contests against MSU (6-13, 3-7) on the diamond, dropping three straight games for the first time this season.

The Pioneers took control early in game one, leading 1-0 after the first inning. They extended their lead to 3-0 in the top of the fourth inning following a solo home run. However, a strong bottom of the sixth inning by the Mustangs helped them edge out TWU, 4-3, to defend their home turf.

Midwestern State's momentum from game one carried over to game two, as they jumped to a quick 3-0 lead after the first three innings. A few timely swings by TWU in the following innings brought the Pioneers back into the game, and they managed to tie the score. However, MSU regained the lead with three more runs, and despite a late surge in the seventh inning that tied the game at 6-6, the Mustangs ultimately closed out the visiting Pioneers in their final at-bat.

IMPACT PLAYERS

  • Hawwa Townsend: 2-for-4 at the plate, 4 hits, 3 RBI (game 2)

  • Riley Todd: 2-for-3 at the plate, 2 hits, 2 runs, 1 RBI, 1 HR (game 1)

PIONEER POWER MOMENTS
Game 1 (TWU loss 3-4):

  • The Pioneers extended their early 1-0 lead in the fourth inning with an RBI double by Vivica Hernandez, scoring Todd. Later, Todd crossed home plate again in the sixth inning after blasting a solo home run, putting TWU ahead 3-0.

Game 2 (TWU loss 6-7):

  • After being driven in by Lauryn Davies' RBI sac fly in the fourth inning, Townsend tied the game at 3-3 with a two-RBI double in the fifth, giving the Pioneers some momentum. Back-to-back RBIs from Townsend and Trinity Perry in the seventh inning gave the Pioneers hope for a comeback, but they were ultimately unable to hold on.

Next Up
TWU will now face No. 7 West Texas A&M on the road in Canyon, Texas, looking to secure another ranked win over a top-10 opponent and their first ranked win on the road. The doubleheader series is set for Sunday, March 2, with first pitch scheduled for 1 p.m. and 3 p.m.
