 UConn  earned a doubleheader split against Hofstra on Wednesday afternoon at the Mansfield Athletic Complex, after determining the Burrill Family Field was unfit due to wet conditions.

The Huskies (13-16) grabbed the first game, 4-1, after a dominant complete-game outing by freshman Katie Koshes - her fifth time going the distance this season. In game two, Hofstra used an eight-run inning to propel itself to a 10-2 win in five innings.

Backed by senior RHP Lydia Ritchie's third complete-game shutout of the season, East Carolina picked up a 5-0 non-conference victory over Radford Wednesday afternoon at the ECU Softball Stadium.

The teams attempted to play a doubleheader, but torrential downpour halted game two in the middle of the fifth inning to the point where play could not be resumed. The Highlanders were winning 6-0 at the time.


 Emily Watson tied a school record with 17 strikeouts to lead visiting Tulsa to a 3-2 win over Big 12 Conference-leading Oklahoma State on Wednesday night at Cowgirl Stadium.

Tulsa will return to the diamond for a 6 p.m. matchup at Wichita State (19-13) on Thursday, April 6.
