San Diego's softball team led 7-3 early against Utah Tech but fell 11-9 after a catastrophic six-run third inning by the Trailblazers. The Toreros initially surged through the first two innings with significant contributions from Taylor Johnson, Kaylee Oh, and Abrielle Diaz, who combined for multiple RBIs, pushing USD ahead. However, momentum shifted drastically as Utah Tech capitalized on San Diego's defensive errors, ultimately claiming victory.

The Toreros are set to continue their season with a series against Santa Clara this Friday.
