MONTGOMERY, Ala. — The University of West Alabama Softball team was edged out by No. 1 AUM in a 2-1 defeat on Sunday at the AUM Softball Complex.

In the second inning, Morris hit her second Home Run of the series to knot the game at one.

Watkins began the bottom of the sixth with a walk and eventually scored on a single by Kennedy Sevcik, putting the Warhawks ahead 2-1. The Tigers were unable to score in the seventh inning.
West Alabama will be back in action next weekend for a three-game series against Christian Brothers.
