The Central Washington University Softball Team travels to Lacey, Washington, to compete against the Saint Martin's Saints this weekend. The matches are scheduled for April 11 at 1:00 and 3:00 p.m. and April 12 at noon and 2:00 p.m. The Wildcats recently faced Simon Fraser, finishing the weekend with a 1-3 record. In this series, CWU will look to build momentum against a strong Saints team that holds a 22-12 overall record.

By the Numbers
  • Saint Martin's boasts a notable 7-1 record in GNAC play this season.
  • Kaylee Walker and Shelby Lawson lead the Saints, both batting .410, with Walker hitting 43 times and Lawson tallying 11 stolen bases.
Yes, But

While Saint Martin's has shown impressive performance, their recent history includes ups and downs, including a 1-4 record at the NorCal Crossover. Central Washington will face a competitive opponent, which makes the outcome less predictable.

State of Play
  • The Wildcats are looking to improve after a disappointing series against Simon Fraser where they lost three out of four games.
  • Bouncing back with a win in their last outing, they aim to carry that momentum into the weekend series.
What's Next

After the matches against Saint Martin's, Central Washington will have a week off before hosting Montana State Billings for a four-game series. The upcoming games will feature special events including Gold Star Games and Senior Day.

Bottom Line

This weekend's series against Saint Martin's presents a crucial opportunity for CWU to recover its competitive edge. With both teams entering the matchup with something to prove, the Wildcats need to capitalize on their strengths and adapt to Saint Martin's formidable lineup.
