SOFTBALL (33-11, 14-4 C-USA)
Lost at Houston 2-0 (Tulsa allowed two runs in the sixth and was unable to get on the board in a narrow loss in Houston. Sophomore centerfielder Caitlin Everett and sophomore shortstop Samantha Cobb picked up the two hits for the Golden Hurricane. Freshman pitcher Aimee Creger lost just her second game of the season. She gave up just three hits and two runs in 6.0 innings.)
Lost at Houston 9-1 (5 innings) (After losing a tight first game, Tulsa was defeated by way of a run rule in the second game of a doubleheader.
