Texas Softball entered the 2025 Hillenbrand Invitational as the No. 1-ranked softball team in the nation and was undefeated in play.

However, the Longhorns' first game of the Invitational ended in a 9-5 loss to No. 20 Stanford, which will likely disrupt their ranking.

They have since bounced back in their second game of the Invitational, with a dominant 18-2 victory over Colorado State.

Today's game against UC Davis highlighted the Longhorns' willingness to not let a single loss define them, forcing a 12-0 five-inning win against the Aggies.

UC Davis entered the matchup on a three-game losing streak at the Invitational. All three losses had been to ranked opponents, with the loss today extending that number to four.

Key moments from the game included Vanessa Quiroga's grand slam in the third inning, and Kayden Henry and Joley Mitchell's three runs each. The Longhorns recorded eight runs in the third inning alone.

Check out the highlights of the game below.
