San Diego State softball was defeated by Villanova 11-4 Wednesday at the SDSU Softball Stadium.
Villanova (12-9) used a six-run sixth inning, highlighted by two solo home runs in the frame, to get the victory.
The Wildcats hit three home runs to go along with nine hits.
Aztecs’ senior shortstop Shelby Thompson said the six-run sixth for Villanova was a result of lack of execution.
“A lot of it came from pitchers falling behind and defense not coming up when we needed to,” Thompson said.
Thompson, who got on via a hit by pitch, scored on a two-run double by sophomore designated player Summer Hargett in the second inning.
