DCC Head Softball Coach Jim LeProwse commented, “First game I was happy to see how hard we battled to get the win, but we left entirely too many runners on the bases. Second game we played much better, and did a lot better job of scoring runs when we had chances. We still need to improve offensively. Defensively we played great all day. I am always happy if we start our spring break trip with two quality wins.”
