The second game saw Utah lose a 4-1 lead and eventually the game (9-5) to then-No. 22 Oregon State. Utah fell to two ranked opponents on Saturday in then-No. 17 LSU (2-0) and then-No. 13 DePaul (2-1). The Utes concluded the tournament with a 10-2 victory over UC Riverside on Sunday.
Glennis Donnelly led Utah at the plate, going 9-of-15 with four doubles and six RBI. Brianna Gourdin and Samantha Schroeder each picked up a victory for Utah, while Heather Bowlin tossed a strong game against LSU and Melissa Oakes threw well against DePaul though both were losses.

Quoting Stevens
"This will be our second taste of teams ranked in the top 30. This weekend will be another opportunity for us to show what we've got.
"We are looking forward to getting our athletes back on dirt. We are playing aggressive and with fiestiness, which should serve us well in the long run.
"Last weekend we made some adjustments with our pitchers and hitters. Our hitters got to see some very good pitchers last weekend. This weekend will be the same challenge."
