After a 2-1 series loss to Southern Mississippi on Sunday, UTEP softball had a short turnaround with their rival New Mexico State coming to town for a double-header on Tuesday. UTEP is now on a four-game skid after NMSU defeated them in both games.
In the first game, the Aggies won 8-4 and defeated UTEP by an even wider margin in the second game, 13-4. Now, UTEP sits at 8-23 overall, while NMSU climbed to 12-16 on the season and earned their first back-to-back away wins this year (3-6 on road).
Through the last nine games of the rivalry, NMSU has had the upper hand, winning eight.
