LAS VEGAS, N.M. – April 22, 2018 – Lexi Andersen hit a grand slam in the third inning of Sunday's game one at New Mexico Highlands University to lead the University of Colorado Colorado Springs softball team to a 6-3 win.  UCCS held the Cowgirls to two runs in the series finale to win the game, 7-2, and complete the doubleheader sweep.  The Mountain Lions leave Las Vegas, N.M. winning three-of-four games.

All six of the Mountain Lions runs in the first game came in the third inning. 
 
Melissa Martinek started the inning with her first homerun of the season.  With two outs and the bases load, Rayle Glover was hit by a pitch that sent home Whitney Weber.  The next batter, Andersen, hit a home run over the left field fence to give UCCS the 6-0 lead.
