SEATTLE – Seattle U softball concluded the opening series of Western Athletic Conference (WAC) play on Saturday afternoon, falling to Tarleton (4-12) in six innings. Senior Madison Kahwaty continued her stellar performance in the series, going one-for-one with a walk and a hit by pitch.

The Redhawks fought hard in this contest all game long, mounting a comeback effort in the third with three runs. Kahwaty was able to get on base via a hit by pitch before Jocelynn De La Cruz launched a ball to left field for a double to grab her second RBI of the game. Sydney Frankenberger followed with a single through the right side before Kalyn Hill lifted one just over the shortstop to score De La Cruz and Frankenberger after a misplay by the left fielder.
