CONROE, Texas – The St. Mary's softball team split games on the final day of the Arkansas Tech Winter Invitational, dropping game one 5-2 to Washburn, before bouncing back to win in walkoff fashion, 4-3 against West Texas A&M.

Washburn's leadoff hitter Samantha Stallbaumer went 4-for-5 with two runs scored, while Bri Francis was 2-for-4 with three RBIs and Savannah Moore was 2-for-4 with a pair of RBIs. Raegan Moore was awarded the victory to move to 2-2 on the year after pitching 4 1/3 innings. She didn't allow any runs on four hits, walking three and didn't strike out a batter. The Ichabods used two pitchers in relief over the remaining 2 2/3 innings.
