She lasted three innings for the Highlanders, giving way to junior Marissa Alvidrez in the fourth. UCR's offense struggled throughout the game as the Highlanders came out on the short end of a 5-0 decision.
Alvidrez took to the circle for the second game as well, this time getting the start against No. 22 Georgia. The Highlanders offense struggled again managing just four hits in the five-inning contest, Uncharacteristically for UC Riverside, the team's defense faltered as well, as six UCR errors contributed to 10 unearned Bulldogs runs.
