Sloan Springfield and Puava Tulau each played in their final game for the Falcons. McKenzie Brentham played two seasons for UTPB and spent the last two years as a student manager for the Falcons. UT Permian Basin also thanked student athletic trainers Lindsey Post and Brianna Gallegos 

A Marathon, Texas native, Sloan Springfield played three seasons at UTPB. A starting pitcher, she threw over 215 innings and appeared in 64 games over three years. She made 44 starts and recorded seven victories.

McKensey Brentham will graduate with a degree in kinesiology and will pursue her masters at UTPB next fall. She played her freshmen and sophomore seasons at UTPB, and helped the team as a student manager her final two seasons.

Puava Tulau is pursuing her graduate degree in kinesiology. She was a four year player for UT Permian Basin volleyball and joined the Falcons this season, helping the team in a wide number of areas this year.

"I'm thankful for all of the hard work, dedication and sacrifice that Sloan, Puava and McKensey put forth for UTPB Softball," said head coach Tiala Tagaloa. "I have no doubt that if they put forward that same effort into their future endeavors they will be successful. We will miss them, but I know they will continue to make us proud with their next steps in life."

Texas A&M Kingsville clinched the Lone Star Conference championship Saturday with a pair of 7-0 and 11-0 wins. The #3 Javelinas will host next week's LSC Softball Championships in Kingsville, Texas.
