2/13/2022 1:59:00 PM | Softball
The Mean Green finished the weekend going 3-2, bringing their record to a combined 8-4 over the last three seasons in season-opening tournaments in the state of Louisiana.
Lake Charles, La.— North Texas dropped a heartbreaker to host McNeese State 1-0 on Sunday at Cowgirl Diamond. The Mean Green finished the opening weekend trip to Louisiana 3-2.
QUOTING HEAD COACH RODNEY DELONG
"We played tough on the road against good competition. We did a lot of things well. The offense needs to improve and it will. Today was unfortunate, we missed on a couple of opportunities and hit some hard balls right at people. We will work on some things this week and be better prepared at the plate for next weekend."
Game Recap— McNeese State 1, UNT 0
After being held in check for five innings, the Mean Green's best chance to score game in the sixth when they put two on with just one down thanks to a Molly Rainey walk and a Lexi Cobb single. Despite advancing both into scoring position on an error, North Texas couldn't come up with the hit to scratch across a run and stranded a pair.
Mean Green junior LHP Ashley Peters (L, 1-1) was excellent in the circle, as she pitched a complete game, and kept it scoreless through five. McNeese State picked up its lone run in the sixth inning on a RBI double to left center following an error. Peters scattered five hits over six innings with seven strikeouts and no walks. She allowed just the one run.
Kailey Gamble and Cobb had the only hits for UNT. McNeese's Ashley Vallejo stuck out six in the shutout to pick up the victory.

UNT hosts the Tracy Beard College Classic in Melissa, Texas next weekend. The Mean Green will face Montana and Colorado State on Friday, February 18 followed by Nevada and Abilene Christian on Saturday, February 19.
