The Rebels (31-17, 14-8 MW) and Aztecs (28-18, 15-7 MW) went back-and-forth through the first three innings, until San Diego State took the lead in the top of the fourth inning and stayed in control.
THE TURNING POINT: The Aztecs took a 13-4 lead in the top of the fourth inning scoring 10 runs on seven hits. The Rebels were unable to get a rally going and were held off the scoreboard in the next two innings of play.
OTHER NOTES:
- The Rebels will make their first MW Softball Championship appearance since 2006. UNLV hosted the 2006 MW Softball Championships, which was the last one before the tournament returned in 2023.
- Ariana Martinez was 2-for-2 on the day against San Diego State going yard in her first at-bat of the day which was a two-run shot. Martinez also had a walk.
- Skyler Shaw, Janyssa Martin and Jesse Farrell each had a hit on the day.
- Farrell roped her 11th homer of the season in the first inning.
