No. 16/18 UCF 3, Tulsa 0
Brittany Solis' three-run homer helped No. 16/18 UCF to a 3-0 win over Tulsa Saturday afternoon at the Collins Family Softball Complex. The Knights claimed the series win over the Hurricane for the first time since 2010 and earned the first series win at Tulsa since 2007. The game began as a pitcher's duel, as the teams combined to leave five runners on base through the first five innings. Shelby Turnier tossed a three-hit complete game for her second win of the weekend. After the Hurricane ended Turnier's no-hit bid in the bottom of the fifth, Tulsa knocked a hit in the bottom of the sixth inning, but left the runner on first at the end of the inning.
