April 7, 2023

The Cougars move to 14-13 on the year with a conference record of 5-3. Following today's sweep, the Coo currently hold an overall record of 13 wins and 11 losses against the Wolves.

GAME ONE – W, 13-4

Sioux Falls jumped out to an early lead when Kait Van Der Zwaag blasted a three run homer over the left field fence to start the game.

The Cougars kept their bats hot as they took a 6-0 lead before the Wolves tagged on four runs in the bottom of the third before USF shut them out for the remainder of the game.

In front of her home crowd, Van Der Zwaag paved the way with three RBIs off two hits followed by Lexie Swift with two RBIs of her own on three hits.

The Cougars had five stolen bases during game one with Meghan Jochimsen recording two of them.

Hanna Cress started in the circle for the Cougars where she threw for 2.2 innings before Van Der Zwaag capped off the game and recorded her ninth win of the season. The two combined for two strikeouts while facing 27 batters.

GAME TWO – W, 1-0

Game two posed as a nail bitter before the Cougars finally put one on the board in the top of the fourth. Kennedy Thomas scored Meghan Jochimsen of a double down the fight field line.

The Cougars recorded three doubles on the day hit by Kylie Madrid, Megan Lawson and Kennedy Thomas, but left six stranded on the bases.

Once again, Sioux Falls wreaked havoc on the base path as they tallied three stolen bases in game two and nine throughout the day.
