STILLWATER, Okla. — BYU softball's bid to advance to the super regional round of the NCAA Tournament suffered a blow on Thursday with a 3-1 loss to No. 13 and regional host Oklahoma State. A quick start by the Cowboys out of the gate put the Cougars behind throughout, with not enough offense mounted to help out an otherwise solid pitching performance from Arissa Paulson.
Paulson's counterpart, OSU's Samantha Show, did it from both the pitching circle and the plate, pitching a complete game to go along well with her RBI double in the second inning that gave her team a quick 3-0 lead.
