Melissa Coogan pitched a four-hitter and Denise Dahlberg doubled home a run in the fourth inning as Hawai'i defeated Virginia, 1-0, in the first game of a scheduled doubleheader yesterday at Rainbow Wahine Softball Stadium.

The second game was stopped in the bottom of the third because of rain with UH ahead 7-1.

Coogan (6-4) struck out eight and walked one for her 27th career shutout as Hawai'i improved to 11-9.

Coty Tolar pitched a five-hitter with four strikeouts for Virginia (5-11).

Tara Harbert led off the Hawai'i fourth with a single up the middle and advanced to second on a passed ball. Dahlberg then ripped a double to the gap in right-center to make it 1-0.

Harbert batted 2 for 3.
