The Wolverines fall to 2-4 with the loss. Walks were the story as Corpus Christi had just one more hit than UV.

Magan Niemann (2-for-3) and Jessica Anderson (2-for-2) recorded multi-hit days for UV.

After the Wolverines were retired in order in the first, Corpus Christi saw six of its first seven batters reach base--four receiving free passes. The Islanders' got a two-out triple to score two before UV got out of the inning.

Utah Valley got two hits in each of the final four innings but weren't able to get any runs across.

Corpus Christi scored its only other run in the bottom of the second. The game ended after five innings due to the eight-run rule.
