SOFTBALL
The Cowgirls take a break from league play this weekend, when they head down to College Station to face No. 5 Texas A&M.
The Aggies have been red hot all season with a 32-3 (9-2 SEC) record. The team is batting .319, lead by Riley Sartain with an average of .409. The pitching staff has a unbelievably low ERA of 1.21. Meanwhile your Cowgirls currently hold a team batting average of .311 and are lead by Vanessa Shippy with an average of .404. The Cowgirl pitching staff holds a 3.59 ERA. The Cowgirl offense is almost on A&M’s level, so if the pitching staff can have a solid weekend, the cowgirls could be looking for an upset.
The series begins tonight at 6 p.m followed by 4 p.m. Saturday and 12 p.m. Sunday.

The 19th ranked Cowgirls are in Athens, Georgia this weekend to play in the 45th annual Liz Murphey Collegiate Classic. It’s a combined stroke/match play tournament, with 18 holes of stroke play on Friday, followed by three rounds of match play on Saturday and Sunday.
