MEMPHIS, Tenn. – The Memphis softball team fell to conference foe Tulsa 7-0, in the second game the three-game series. The Tigers (5-29) struggled to get on base as the Golden Hurricanes threw for a no hitter in the game.

"Tulsa put up a really good performance today, really made us work," head coach Stephanie VanBrakle Prothro said. "We need to keep with the process, like I keep saying, and keep looking for ways to improve at every at bat and every pitch. There is a lot of growing we still need to do but it's all part of the process."
