OGDEN, Utah -- Arissa Henderson tossed a five-hit shutout and Weber State scored in all but one inning on the way to a mercy rule shortened 8-0 victory over Sacramento State on Saturday afternoon at Wildcat Field.

The Wildcats scored once in the first and third innings, before scoring five times in the fourth and once more in the fifth to secure the three-game sweep of the Hornets. Today's win allowed Weber State to win the Big Sky Conference's regular season championship.
