Oklahoma State, Auburn Softball Secure Shutout Victories

Oklahoma State softball secured a 5-0 shutout over Utah, highlighted by strong pitching from Crandall and home runs from Hasler and Wark, as the Cowgirls honored their seniors and improved their Big 12 record. Auburn also achieved a shutout, defeating NC State 8-0 with a dominant performance by pitcher SJ Geurin and a walk-off hit by Nelia Peralta, extending Geurin's win tally and showcasing offensive contributions from McCrary and Wohlers. Meanwhile, Hawai'i fell to UC San Diego 4-1 in their series opener, with UCSD capitalizing on early scoring and a late home run, despite a celebratory night for retiring longtime UH head coach Bob Coolen. Northwood's season likely ended after a dramatic 10-9 extra-innings loss to Tiffin in the GMAC Tournament, where Northwood overcame a five-run deficit to tie the game before losing on a walk-off double.
