In the opener, WNCC sophomore Ashton Hughes struck out nine and allowed three hits in leading the Cougars to a 1-0 win against Colorado State University. The Cougars then came up short against the University of Northern Colorado, falling 6-3.
Hughes was simply sensational in the win against Colorado State as she was endanger of allowing a run only once – the fifth inning, but worked out of the jam with a fly out to the shortstop.
The Cougars only run of the game came in the fifth. Amanda Saldivar led off by reaching on error. She later scored on a wild pitch. WNCC also had a prime scoring opportunity in the second inning as they loaded the bases with two outs, but couldn’t get the magical hit to score any runs.
WNCC managed just one hit in the contest as sophomore Jacqui Cappuccilli smacked a double to lead off the fourth inning.
The UNC game was also a tight contest. The Bears took a 3-0 lead in the third inning and then went up 6-0 after five innings. WNCC managed a comeback, scoring once in the sixth inning. They then scored twice on three hits, including a 2-run scoring double by Cappuccilli.
WNCC will be back in action Wednesday as they travel to take on Chadron State College in Chadron. They will then compete in the Triple Crown Tournament over the weekend in Ft. Collins, Colo.
