The University of Utah softball team suffered two losses on Friday, falling to Oregon 2-0 and Long Beach State 3-1 at the Mary Nutter Collegiate Classic in Cathedral City, Calif. Pitcher Hailey Maestretti threw 5 2/3 scoreless innings of relief over the two games, while Shelbee Jones also had a strong performance on the mound. Despite opportunities to score, the Utes were unable to capitalize and fell to a 4-9 record for the 2025 season. The game against Oregon saw the Utes fighting to stay in the game, with Maestretti entering in the fifth inning to help keep the Ducks at bay. The match against Long Beach State saw the Utes responding to an early lead by tying the score in the third inning, but ultimately falling short as LBSU pulled ahead with two runs in the fifth inning. Despite efforts to tie the game in the final innings, the Utes were unsuccessful in finding the breakthrough they needed. The team will look to bounce back on day two of the tournament with matchups against Cal State Fullerton and Northwestern. Season tickets for the 2025 campaign are now available for fans looking to support the Utes throughout the season. Fans can follow the team on social media for updates and news on upcoming games.
