PENSACOLA, Fla. – The Union University softball team lost 3-0 to the University of West Georgia Friday afternoon in the second day of the 2019 Gulf South Conference Tournament. Seven-seed Union dropped to 30-24 on the season, while sixth-seeded West Georgia improved to 30-26.
It was the first loss of the tournament for Union, dropping the Lady Bulldogs to an elimination game Saturday morning at 9 a.m. vs. four-seed Valdosta State University. The Saturday games are starting at 9 a.m. instead of the originally set 10 a.m. due to incoming rain.

Alyssa Ward,
Kaitlyn Kelley, Sam McDaniel, and Davis.
