TWU CLOSES WEEKEND WITH SERIES SPLIT AGAINST HILLTOPPERS

DENTON, Texas (April 13, 2025) – In an epic clash, the Texas Woman's softball team battled it out at Dianne Baker Field on Sunday, engaging in a hard-fought doubleheader against St. Edward's University. The Pioneers (19-21, 15-19) came away with a 3-0 shutout win in game one but narrowly fell in game two, 3-2, to the Hilltoppers (25-21, 19-17).

The opening battle saw TWU strike with bold precision. In the fourth inning, Riley Todd led the charge with a bunt single that brought home Ashley Allinger, securing the first run of the game and igniting the Pioneers' offensive momentum. In the sixth, Malarie Medina delivered the decisive blow — a two-run home run to left center that extended TWU's lead to 3-0. Medina's swing echoed across the field as the Pioneers celebrated a commanding victory.

Game two proved to be a tougher test. St. Edward's took the lead in the third inning on a single to left field by Lauren Hoyt, scoring Arianna Vidales. TWU responded in the bottom half, as Marissa Espinoza ripped a double down the left field line to score Todd and tie the game at 1-1.

SEU added runs in the fifth and seventh innings, both driven in by Hoyt, to take a 3-1 lead. But the Pioneers weren't done yet. In the bottom of the seventh, Lauryn Davies dropped a bunt single to first base, allowing Todd to score and cutting the deficit to one. Despite the late push, TWU's rally fell just short.
