Las Vegas, New Mexico- Thursday afternoon softball, and what a great day in Historic Las Vegas for these two conference foes to face off.

Game 1 : Adams State University (ASU)  3  -  NMHU 2 
The Grizzlies were the first to get on the board following a SAC Fly and an RBI single, taking a 2-0 lead headed into the bottom of the third.  

However, the Cowgirls' offense responded on a Jazmyn Griego single to score Andrea DeLaTrinidad to make it 2-1. 

Adams State scored again in the fourth, and the Cowgirls scored on a Yasmin Villa single in the fifth, but the rubber match between the two pitchers was the difference, and the Cowgirls would drop game one

Cowgirls Stat Leaders Game 1:
Jazmyn Griego 2-4 RBI
Yasmin Villa 2-4 RBI
Andrea DeLaTrinidad 2-4
Olivia Boswell 1-3 2B


Game 2 : Adams State University (ASU)  9  -  NMHU 14
If you were looking for a rubber match game, one of these series was your jam, but if you wanted to see runs scored, then game two was all yours.

The Grizzlies scored two in the first, followed by the Cowgirls answering with a crooked number of three in their half.

The Grizzlies then scored five in the second inning, and after that, it got quiet for a bit of time.

Until the fourth inning, when the Cowgirls answered with six runs. RBI's coming off the bats of Jazmyn Griego, Shaylene Saladin, Hannah Hopkins, Aliya Rhees, and Andrea DeLaTrinidad, making the score 9-7. 

The Grizzlies, however, would not go away quietly, and the Cowgirls were scared of no fight.

A Saladin single to the left scored Kylee Sam after a Cheyenne Ben double, and a passed ball scored Greigo in the same inning to make it 11-9 Cowgirls, and they weren't done.

Jolissa Valdez, Rhees, and Olivia Boswell drove in an RBI each to put this one away. Cowgirls get the win in game two to even the series.

Kennedy Williams also recorded the victory for her first win on the season after 2.2 IP, zero runs, and two strikeouts after entering in the fifth with one out.
