SEWARD, Neb. – Due to cold and wintry-like conditions in the forecast, the Concordia University Softball program has canceled home doubleheaders it had scheduled with Mayville State University (N.D.) this Friday and Saturday (Feb. 25-26). Based on the current schedule, the Bulldogs will hope to host their home opener on March 23 versus College of Saint Mary.
Next up on the slate is the Friends University Invitational set to run March 4-5 in Wichita, Kan. The opponents for those two days will be Graceland University (Iowa), Benedictine College (Kan.), Mount Mercy University (Iowa) and Peru State College. The trip to Wichita will lead into the Tucson Invitational over spring break (March 7-11).
Head Coach Tatum Edwards’ squad managed to open the season the past two days and split doubleheaders at Benedictine and at the University of Saint Mary (Kan.). After four games, four regulars are hitting better than .300: Kylie Shottenkirk (.583; 7-for-12), Camry Moore (.533; 8-for-15), Zoie Isom (.400; 4-for-10) and Kylee Nixon (.333; 5-for-15). Nixon has produced two doubles and a triple. A freshman from Lincoln North Star High School, Shottenkirk made an immediate impact. Not only does she lead the team in batting average, she’s also driven in five runs and has stolen five bases. In the pitching circle, Moore and Jerzi Rowe have earned one win apiece.
