Baseball: After taking a week off, the No. 16 CSN Baseball team will return to the diamond at Morse Stadium this weekend, hosting a four-game series with Colorado Northwestern Community College.
 
The Coyotes are 18-6 overall with a mark of 3-1 in the Scenic West, placing them near the top of the league's standings. The series will start with a single game on Thursday, with first pitch scheduled for 6:00 p.m. CSN and CNCC will play a doubleheader on Friday, with a single game concluding the series on Saturday.
 
CSN coach Nick Garritano said his team is excited to return to the field.
 
"We fortunately had a bye week this past weekend," he said. "We feel we desperately needed that bye as we have been really banged up. We are looking forward to resuming SWAC play this weekend against a tough CNCC club."
 
Men's Basketball: CSN will play host to one of the Scenic West's traditional powers this week in a rare back-to-back in the league schedule, hosting Snow College.
 
The Coyotes and Badgers will play a Tuesday-Wednesday series, with the game on Tuesday starting at 7:00 p.m. inside the CSN Sports Center. Southern Nevada went 0-3 last week, falling in a trio of road games. The week will conclude with a home game against USU Eastern on Saturday.
 
CSN is scheduled to finish the regular season on March 30.
 
Softball: After splitting in a home series with Snow College last weekend, the CSN softball program is headed out on the road to play at Colorado Northwestern this weekend.

Lady Coyotes coach Ashley Johnston said her team is learning more about Scenic West play each week.
 
"We know that this is a hitting league," she said. "Our pitchers are finding that out the hard way, but feel that we can compete with anyone in this league. The girls just have to continue to work in all areas of the game and continue to get stronger each and every day. We will be hitting the road this week for Colorado and hoping to bounce back from a 2-2 weekend with Snow."
