HISTORY AGAINST OPPONENT

UNT holds a 1-6 record against Charlotte all-time with the last game taking place during the 2018 season.

The Mean Green won their first contest against the 49ers 1-0, in the series opener behind freshman pitcher Hope Trautwein's first career shutout. Trautwein pitched a complete game and struck out five batters.

Sophomore catcher Nicole Ochotnicki led the North Texas offense going 3-for-3 at the plate and accounted for three of the four UNT hits. Junior infielder Rhylie Makawe scored the only run of the game in the sixth inning on a sac fly by Katie Clark.

Charlotte won the second game of the double-header on March 10 and followed with another win on March 11 to win the series.
