HENDERSON, NV — The College of Southern Nevada Lady Coyotes continued their dominant run in the ACCAC conference, overwhelming the Central Arizona College Vaqueras with a commanding 10-2 victory in the third game of their four-game series on Saturday morning. With this triumph, the Lady Coyotes improve their season record to 11-9 and remain undefeated in conference play at 7-0.
Pitcher Bryn Connors led the charge from the mound, earning her third win of the season with a stellar complete-game performance. Connors allowed just two runs on two hits, striking out two, and walking none, demonstrating control and precision throughout the contest. On the opposing side, B. Wunderle took the loss for the Vaqueras, dropping her record to 0-2 for the season.
The game saw CSN explode out of the gate. They racked up four runs in the bottom of the first inning, setting the tone for what would be a high-scoring affair. Destinee Lopez and Ellie Olson were particularly instrumental, driving in two runs each with singles that carved through the Vaqueras' defense.
CSN's offense was relentless, tallying 13 hits. Lopez finished the day 3-for-3 with four RBIs, a testament to her impeccable timing and placement at the plate. Olson matched the intensity, contributing three hits and two RBIs, proving pivotal in extending the lead. The Lady Coyotes' strategic hitting was on full display, particularly in a five-run outburst in the fourth inning, effectively sealing the game.
Despite their efforts, the Vaqueras struggled to mount a significant challenge, managing only two runs on two hits. Their lone spark was provided by E. Wolff, who knocked in a run with a single in the second inning, but any momentum was quickly stifled by CSN's tight defensive play.
The Lady Coyotes capitalized on their opportunities, navigating around their three defensive errors without letting them impact the final outcome significantly. The game's early innings were particularly crucial, as CSN built a lead that proved insurmountable for Central Arizona.
As the series nears its conclusion, the Lady Coyotes look poised to sweep, relying on their robust lineup and solid pitching. Meanwhile, the Vaqueras will aim to regroup and salvage a win in the series finale, hoping to disrupt CSN's perfect conference streak. With one game left, the tension and stakes will undoubtedly rise as CSN seeks to maintain their impeccable record in ACCAC play.
