HENDERSON, Nev. (April 5, 2019) – If anything, the College of Southern Nevada softball program may be the most persistent program in the Scenic West Athletic Conference.
 
Even though the Lady Coyotes aren't at the top of the league standings, CSN finds ways to play its best against top-tier league opponents. Southern Nevada did that last weekend in a game against Salt Lake and continued that trend of first-game energy by taking the College of Southern Idaho to the wire in a 10-6 extra-inning loss in Friday's game one. CSN also lost a 9-1 decision in game two. 
 
The Lady Coyotes and Golden Eagles will play another doubleheader on Saturday. The scheduled start of the day's first game is 1:00 p.m.
