RENO, Nev. – Nevada Softball seniors went five-for-eight with four RBI, a triple, and a home run in the Pack's 40^th win of the season. 40 wins in a season are tied for the second most in Wolf Pack history, and they tie 2008 for the most wins heading into the postseason in program history. The seniors each leave Hixson Softball Park with a hit and an RBI to cap off the best home record for the Pack since 2009
 
Colorado State got the scoring started with a walk and a double in the first inning to take a 1-0 lead.
 
Nevada responded instantly with a lead-off single by Madison Clark, followed by a triple by Aaliyah Jenkins. Alycia Coats led off the second inning with a booming home run, hitting halfway up the flag pole in straight away center field. Tatum Maytorena completed the trio of RBI by seniors with a third-inning RBI single to score Haylee Engelbrecht.
 
Nevada kept the offense going in the fourth inning, scoring four in the frame. Coats lined a single to lead off the inning. Her pinch runner, Matlyn Leetch, scored on a single by Jenkins. Jenkins would steal both second and third before scoring with Hannah Di Genova on an Engelbrecht single. The Pack scored its fourth run of the inning on a wild pitch by Reagan Wicks.
 
The Wolf Pack's scoring capped with a Di Genova RBI single that scored Bailie Clark. B. Clark pinch ran for Coats, who walked in her final plate appearance at Hixson Softball Park.
 
Colorado State got one run back in the sixth, scoring on an errant throw off a bunt single by Jordan West.
 
Tess Bumiller got the start and the win for the Pack, going four innings, allowing just three hits and one run. Bumiller walked four batters and struck out two. Jessica McPartland relieved Bumiller in the fifth, earning a save by pitching three full innings. McPartland allowed six hits and one unearned run without walking any Rams.
 
Coats was the standout player of the game for the Pack with her two-for-two performance with a home run and a walk. Fellow senior Jenkins joined Coats with a multi-hit game, singling and doubling, while drawing an intentional walk in her final plate appearance. M. Clark, Di Genova, Engelbrecht, and Avery Cordell all recorded a hit, while Di Genova and Haley Painter each walked twice.
 
Nevada will be the one-seed at next week's Mountain West Championships, awaiting the winner of a one-and-done matchup between No. 4 Boise State and No. 5 Utah State. The Pack will play at 3 p.m. on Thursday, May 8, at San Diego State Softball Stadium.
