No. 24 UCF 3, Liberty 0
No. 24 UCF picked up a third straight win and closed a season-opening homestand with a 3-0 shutout of Liberty at the UCF Softball Complex. The Knights out-hit the Flames 6-3 on the night, and only two Liberty baserunners were able to even reach third base.
Jada Cody broke the game open in the bottom of the fourth inning for UCF, clubbing a two-run double to left center to score Justene Molina and Micaela Macario for the 3-0 lead for the Knights. Maddie Bejarano reached base in all three of her plate appearances and added an RBI, and Denali Schappacher added two hits and a run scored.
Kama Woodall (2-0) spun 6.1 innings of three-hit softball, walking one and striking out two to earn the win. Gianna Mancha gathered the save with 0.2 innings of no-hit relief to close the game for UCF.
