TAMPA, Feb. 12, 2022 – The University of South Florida softball team earned its first upset win of the season by taking down No. 13/16 Michigan, 4-1, on Saturday afternoon.

Josie Foreman (West Palm Beach, Fla.) and Madison Epperson (Tampa) powered the Bulls offense with a pair of homers in the game.

Michigan cut into the lead in the third. A pair of defensive mistakes allowed a runner to cross, shrinking USF's lead to 3-1.
 
The Bulls answered with a solo home run off the bat of Epperson in the fourth to seal the win at 4-1.
