FULLERTON, Calif. – The Texas A&M softball team (13-3) dropped its tournament-opening game, 2-1, to Weber State (14-3) before bouncing back with a 4-2 victory over Loyola Marymount (10-9) on Friday at the Judi Garman Classic.
Trinity Cannon extended her team-leading reached base streak to 12 games, while the Aggies scored all four of their runs in the night cap with two outs on the board.

On getting a win over LMU…
"LMU is a really good ball club. They've got good pitching and the fact we could chase their starting pitcher in the first inning was big for us. That's a good win for us."
On the improved hitting in game two…
"I was really pleased in how we responded in the second game. I was not happy with our hitting in game one, but for us to come out and get our kids' heads right and to be aggressive was good to see. It was a completely different approach and experience for us. We needed that."

Texas A&M returns to action tomorrow when it faces Utah and No. 5 UCLA at 2:30 p.m. CT and 7 p.m. CT, respectively.
