TWU SOFTBALL SWEEPS UTPB IN ODESSA

ODESSA, Texas (March 7, 2026) - Texas Woman's softball picked up two Lone Star Conference wins Friday afternoon, sweeping UT Permian Basin in a doubleheader at UTPB Softball Park. The Pioneers opened the day with a 10-2 run-rule victory in five innings before securing the series win with a 6-1 decision in game two.

Texas Woman's (8-10, 6-4) controlled both sides of the game throughout the afternoon, combining timely hitting with strong pitching performances in the circle. The Pioneers totaled 17 hits across the two contests and scored in eight different innings while the pitching staff limited the Falcons (9-10, 2-8) to just three total runs.

TWU jumped out early in game one and never relinquished momentum, using a six-run fourth inning to break the game open. The Pioneers followed with another complete effort in game two, building a multi-run lead midway through the contest before adding late insurance runs to seal the sweep.

With the two victories, Texas Woman's continued their conference road swing while securing their first run-rule win of the season in the opening game.
