Following a frustrating end to the Dr. Diana Natalicio Tournament over a week ago, the UTEP softball team found some success at the UTEP Invitational Tournament. UTEP hosted the Cal State-Bakersfield Roadrunners (3-12), University of Missouri at Kansas City Roos (3-10), Tarleton State Texans (11-7), Creighton Bluejays (6-8) and the No.4 ranked Oklahoma State Cowgirls (13-1). The tournament ran from Friday, Feb. 24 to Sunday, Feb. 26 at the Helen of Troy Softball Complex.
To start the team’s weekend, the Miners faced the Cal State Roadrunners at 4 p.m. Friday, Feb. 24. There, the Miners got off to a strong start going up four runs at the end of the second inning.
