AMES, IA – For the second time in the last three weeks, The University of Texas softball program completed a three-game sweep of a Big 12 Conference opponent following the Longhorns' 9-1 win at Iowa State on Saturday afternoon.

Reese Atwood began the offensive outburst for Texas on Saturday when the freshman catcher connected on a 2-1 pitch and sent it over the left field fence for a three-run home run in the top of the first. Following a seven-pitch bottom of the first from fellow freshman Citlaly Gutierrez (11-2), the Longhorn offense continued producing runs with a four-run bottom of the second.
