Cougar softball goes 1-1 at tournament

The Western Nebraska Community College softball team opened the season with a 5-1 win over Frank Phillips College in the first day of the Odessa Tournament. Jessica Pexton picked up the win in the circle.

The Cougars then fell to Midland College 9-2 in the second game. Natasha Dypchey took the loss. Amanda Torimaru smacked a home run for the Cougars. Other players that performed well were Whittany Foster and Jessica Ventoza.

Head coach Maria Winn said that in each game, WNCC struck first, which was key for the Cougars.

WNCC has one more game on Friday, at 6 p.m. against Odessa College. The Cougars will then face two more teams on Saturday -- Howard College and Vernon College.
