Cougar softball team 4-0 in Region IX action



The WNCC softball team took a huge step in hosting the Region IX tournament by going 4-0 in Region IX action Saturday and Sunday. After sweeping Trinidad on Saturday, the Cougar women knocked off Lamar 6-2 and 10-1 in Region IX games. The two teams then matched up for a third game, which was a non-Region IX game, and fell 9-8.

In the first game, Natasha Dychey picked up the win by leading the team to the 6-2 win. Jessica Pexton took the win in the second contest. The big blows in the contest was back-to-back homeruns by Lauren Mills and Lauren Mills.

In the final game, the two teams were hooked up in a battle. WNCC led 7-5 before committing three errors in the bottom of the sixth inning. WNCC is now 5-5 on the season and will look to stay perfect in Region IX play next Saturday when they travel to Otero Junior College.
