The Colorado Mesa University softball team is heading to Nebraska for a crucial four-game series against Chadron State College. This weekend marks their final road trip of the regular season, with doubleheaders scheduled for Friday and Saturday, adjusted for weather. The Mavs face a challenging matchup coming off a series sweep by Colorado Christian University, where they struggled offensively. April Neill is a standout player, having led the team in runs and home runs last weekend. The Eagles, currently in last place in the RMAC, will be looking to improve their record against the Mavs.

By the Numbers
  • The Mavs hit .307 as a team, with an on-base percentage of .387 and slugging .481, ranking among the top in the RMAC.
  • April Neill has contributed six runs with two home runs in her last series, and Cailynn Parsons leads the team with a .369 batting average.
State of Play
  • The Mavs are currently 23-16 in the season after being swept by No. 5 Colorado Christian University.
  • Chadron State is struggling, holding a record of 5-40 and is already eliminated from the conference tournament.
What's Next

Following the series in Nebraska, the Mavs will return home to host Black Hills State for their final regular season games on May 1 and 2, which will also feature Senior Day festivities.

Bottom Line

The Mavs need to capitalize on their match against Chadron State to regain momentum for the upcoming postseason, especially after last weekend's disappointing performance. Performing well could set the tone for their final stretch of the season, ensuring they secure a favorable position in the RMAC standings.
