UST Softball took game one of their conference opening series against Schreiner University in dramatic fashion. 

The Celts found themselves down early as the mountaineers posted three runs in the top of the first. However, a Grace Coffelt RBI single in the first and Emma Garrett's RBI single in the second would cut their deficit  to only one run. After Lindsey Loguet posted a shutout third inning, Taylor Le would give the UST their first lead of the game with her timely 2 RBI double.

As the slugfest continued, the Mountaineers would answer with two runs of their own in the top of the fifth, the second of the two coming on an obstruction penalty against the Celts which would send a runner home to put the Mountaineers up one. 

The Celts entered the bottom of the 7th inning down 5-4 and quickly got to work. With runners on first and second, Mallarie Munson would bring home Emma Garrett with a single to centerfield to tie the ball game. The Mountaineers would then make a pitching change in a last effort to send the game to extra innings, but would see no luck. As Kayleigh Deakle stepped up to the plate with the bases loaded and no outs recorded, she would deliver the final blow to give the Celts their first conference win. On the first pitch of her at bat, Deakle shot a line drive past the third baseman allowing Emma Burris to advance home for the winning run.

Mia Terry would continue her excellence from the plate going three-for-four on the day. Grace Coffelt provided one RBI and one run going three-for-two. Shae Montemayor and Emma Garrett would both go two-for-four and chipping in one run a piece, Garrett would also record an RBI on the night. Lindsey Longuet would pick up her second win of the season pitching a complete game and striking six batters out.

The Celts will be back in action tomorrow as they host a doubleheader against Schreiner University.
