HENDERSON, Nev. (April 27, 2019) – Momentum is hard to reclaim after it's been lost.
The College of Southern Nevada softball team found that to be true on Saturday. After losing game two of Friday's doubleheader to league rival USU Eastern to break a long winning streak, the Coyotes found more inconsistency on Saturday, falling 10-1 and 9-0 in a doubleheader. The losses drop Southern Nevada's overall record to 16-27 and 14-18 in the Scenic West Athletic Conference.
The Coyotes will hit the road for the final series of the regular season next week, traveling to play at Salt Lake Community College's Norma Carr Field.
