HILLSBORO, Ore. – The Portland State softball team dropped its regular-season finale to Big Sky regular-season champion Idaho State on Sunday, falling 11-0 at Hillsboro Stadium.

The Vikings (12-37) split Friday's series-opening doubleheader with the Bengals (34-15), setting up a rubber match on Saturday. But Idaho State put on a dominant display, securing a run-rule victory to clinch the series. Bengals freshman pitcher Megan Meracle tossed a perfect game in the finale — the first against Portland State since No. 2-ranked Oklahoma did it in 2021.

The Bengals scored three runs in the first inning and extended their lead to five in the second. A grand slam in the third broke the game open, giving Idaho State a 9-0 advantage before two more runs in the fourth sealed the 11-0 win.

The Vikings honored their 2025 senior class after the game, celebrating Natalia Martinez, Ellie Babbitt, Annie Lemos, Neveah Smith, Alapese Matautia, Grace Kimball, and Jade Henry.

The Vikings now turn their attention to the Big Sky Conference Tournament, set for May 6-9 in Greeley, Colo. Portland State will enter as the No. 5 seed and open play on Tuesday, May 6, against host and No. 4 seed Northern Colorado.
