PROVO, Utah—The No. 15/19 University of Hawai'i softball team (32-3, 6-1 WAC) defeated BYU, 1-0 in a pitcher's duel of a game. UH's Stephanie Ricketts fired a one-hit shut-out to earn her 20th win of the season. She became the first UH pitcher to ever earn 20 wins in all four seasons of her career.
 
For Ricketts, it was her eighth shut out of the season and 31st of her career which moves her to within one shut out of tying Brooke Wilkins' UH career record of 32 set in 1995. She threw 7.0 innings with three walks and five strike outs for her second one-hit shutout of the season.
 
The Rainbow Wahine posted the first and only run of the game in the top of the sixth inning. Kelly Majam and Kayla Wartner led the inning off with a pair of walks. Both advanced into scoring position off of a deep fly out to centerfield by Sarah Robinson. Jessica Iwata was then intentionally walked to load the bases for Alex Aguirre who grounded out to the pitcher but scored Majam from third for the 1-0 lead.
 
Hannah Howell of BYU suffered the loss dropping her record to 11-6. She also tossed a complete game, giving up just two hits with four walks and five strike outs.

The UH win snapped BYU's 29-home game win streak that dated back to the 2010 season.
