After Bradley (5-13 overall) left the bases loaded in the top of the first inning, the first of two BU errors in the contest led to five unearned UNLV runs in the bottom half of the inning.  Stefany Valentino led off the inning with a walk and a single and walk loaded the bases.  The Rebels scored the first run of the game when Korin Cuico reached on an error with two outs and UNLV scored another run on a wild pitch.  Rayna Bradshaw capped the five-run inning with a three-run homer to left field.

Bradley left runners in scoring position in both the second and third frames before UNLV (9-7 overall) added another run in the bottom half of the third inning.  The Rebels had runners at first and third with two outs when Bradshaw drove in her fourth run of the contest with a single to left field.

Valentino hit a two-out, solo home run in the bottom of the sixth to push the UNLV lead to 7-0. 

The Braves ended Rebel hurler Kylie Wagner's shutout bid with a run in the seventh.  Freshman Mariah Cole (Springfield, Ill./Chatham Glenwood) was hit by a pitch to lead off the inning and Bradley had runners at second and third after senior Brittany Fairbairn's (Lombard, Ill./Glenbard East/Kankakee C.C.) third double of the day. 

Junior Julie Sherman (Hickory Hills, Ill./Stagg) drew a walk to load the bases and Singler drove in Cole with a sacrifice fly to right field.  Wagner struck out the next batter she faced, however, to close out the 7-1 victory.

Wagner struck out five and walked two, while surrendering five hits in the complete game victory for UNLV.  Junior Lindsay Hufeld (Mapleton, Ill./Limestone/Illinois Central) dropped to 1-6 on the year with the loss, giving up seven runs (two earned) in six innings. 

Fairbairn helped highlight Bradley's offensive efforts with a 2-for-4 effort at the plate to extend her hit streak to four consecutive games.
