Terps Fall To No. 7 UCLA In Game One

COLLEGE PARK, MD – Maryland softball was defeated by No. 7 UCLA, 9-0, in game one of its series at Maryland Softball Stadium on Friday. The Terps sit at 15-16 overall and 3-5 in Big Ten play entering game two. 

UCLA (30-5, 5-1 Big Ten) scored eight of its nine runs in the fourth and fifth innings. Former All-American Megan Grant drove in six of the Bruins' runs. She went 2-for-3 with a three-run home run and a bases-clearing double with bases loaded. 

Sophomore Bailey Murphy went 2-for-2 with two singles to earn her seventh multi-hit game of the season. She leads all Terps with a .417 batting average through 31 games. Sydney Lewis was the other Terp to record a hit in the game. She also hit a single. 

Julia Shearer made the start in the circle. She pitched 3.2 innings before Aubrey Wurst and Keria Bucher both made relief appearances.

Bruins' pitcher Kaitlyn Terry, the reigning Pac-12 freshman of the year, improved to 13-3 in the circle. This was her sixth complete game and third shutout of the season.
