Fresh off playing eight games in a six-day stretch, the Bulldogs will play just one doubleheader this week. Concordia and Morningside will go head-to-head in Sioux City at 3 p.m. CT on Tuesday.
On a day when Concordia celebrated seniors Camry Moore and Kylee Nixon, the Bulldogs split a doubleheader with Dakota Wesleyan. An eight-run frame made the difference in a 12-6 victory in game two.
In a battle between two of the GPAC's best pitchers, Camry Moore emerged with the win in game one of Friday (April 8)'s doubleheader in Seward. The Bulldogs defeated Jamestown, 2-1, in game one before being edged in game two, 8-7.
Two games that were in doubt for all seven innings resulted in one win and one loss for Concordia as it went up against former GPAC rival Nebraska Wesleyan. Camry Moore fired a four-hit shutout in game one.
A hectic week features eight games, including senior day on Saturday when the Bulldogs will host Dakota Wesleyan. Concordia will also be at Nebraska Wesleyan and take on Jamestown as part of the busy stretch.
Camry Moore is leaving no doubt that she's truly one of the elite pitchers in the GPAC. She fired a four-hit shutout on Monday (April 4) as the Bulldogs split a conference twin bill with College of Saint Mary.
Kylie Shottenkirk picked the perfect spot for her first career home run. A three-run smash in the sixth inning of game one carried the Bulldogs to a 3-1 win. Northwestern responded by taking the second game of Saturday's doubleheader.
The powerful swings of Zoie Isom and the precision pitching of Camry Moore resulted in a doubleheader sweep of Doane on Tuesday (March 29). Isom belted a grand slam as the Bulldogs won by scores of 6-1 and 13-5.
Conference play will heat up over the next two weeks. The Bulldogs are getting set to host Doane for a doubleheader on Tuesday before heading to Northwestern on Saturday. Concordia stands at 12-12 overall (1-3 GPAC).
Concordia Softball and College of Saint Mary have postponed the scheduled meeting on Sunday (March 27) due to cold temperatures in the forecast. The makeup date is set for Monday, April 4.
