Box Score 1 | Box Score 2 ST. GEORGE, Utah (March 12, 2016) – The Hawaii Pacific softball team dropped both games of a doubleheader on the road to Dixie State University, losing 4-3 in eight innings then falling in the mercy-rule shortened six-inning return matchup 8-0, to conclude a four-game PacWest Conference series.
 
The Sharks (9-15, 5-7 PacWest) dropped their second extra-inning game in as many days, and did so in walk-off fashion to the same player as Dixie's Jessica Gonzalez doubled home the game-winning run in the opener; a day prior, she blasted a walk-off 3-run homer to stun the visiting squad.
 
HPU freshman Dominique Walker continued her hot streak at the plate, going 3-for-4 with a double, while Kiana Wolfe doubled in 2 runs in the 7^th inning to send the game to an extra frame. Sharks pitcher Kristen Caskey (4-5) was saddled with the loss after surrendering 4 runs on 9 hits in the complete-game effort.
 
HPU pitcher Paige Crawford (3-6) took the loss in the second game after allowing 5 runs on 7 hits through 3 innings.
 
The Red Storm (17-7, 5-3) was led in the second contest by Mallory Paulson, who doubled and drove in 3 runs.
