The softball team went 4-1 this weekend at the Hilton Classic in Las Cruces, N.M. The team beat Arkansas before falling to Purdue on Friday. The team downed UMKC on Saturday and finished the tournament with a victory against Utah Valley State.

Because of heavy rainfall Friday night, it did not play host New Mexico State on Saturday as scheduled.

“I was really pleased with our overall team performance this weekend,” coach Tracy Bunge said.

She said the team was successful because it played consistent softball.

Freshman pitcher Christina Ross was able to notch her first collegiate victory when the Jayhawks defeated Arkansas 5-1 on Friday.

The team performed well offensively, especially in the UMKC game. The Jayhawks defeated the Kangaroos 8-0 in five innings, with three homers from juniors Nettie Fierros, Jessica Moppin and Destiny Frankenstein.

The Jayhawks next destination is Palm Springs, Calif., where they will compete in the Palm Springs Classic Feb. 25-27.
