MEMPHIS - The University of Memphis softball team was unable to overcome a five-run second inning by Tulsa, falling 13-4 in game one of their doubleheader Friday at the Memphis Softball Complex.

It is Memphis' fourth straight loss to the Golden Hurricane, dating back to last season. The Lady Tigers (23-13, 3-6 C-USA) have never beaten Tulsa in their two-year history.

Senior first baseman Kara Ross was two-for-three with a RBI in single in the fifth inning that drove in sophomore teammate Leila Dolfo. Dolfo reached on an RBI double that scored sophomore right fielder Brittany Gooch.

Senior third baseman Bridgette McNulty, who came into the contest with hits in nine of her last twelve at bats, drew three walks and scored the Lady Tigers first run of the ball game on a single by senior center fielder Lindsey Pridgen. Pridgen also doubled in the sixth-inning before scoring on a Tori Gross single.

Lad Tiger senior starter Jenna Kubesch surrendered 15 hits and eight earned runs in a full seven innings of work. She falls to 14-6 on the season.
