The loss drops the Cowgirls to 29-10 overall and 10-3 in conference play while the win lifts SFA’s record to 12-24 overall and 5-10 in the SLC.

Stephen F. Austin did all of its damage in the sixth inning with both runs coming on one hit and one Cowgirl error. Shanice Love and Shalie Day drove in the runs.
