After a week of rain and cancelled games, the SCC Softball team returned to face the Lewis and Clark Trailblazers in a doubleheader at Progress Sports Complex in Sainte Genevieve, MO. The two teams met once already this season, in SCC's season opener at the Midwest Clash Softball Tournament on February 19th. The Lady Cougars beat the Trailblazers 9-1 in the initial meet up.

St. Charles had 13 hits in the game. Lorelei Johnson hit a home run and drove in six runs in three hits. Isbell Priddy, Maddy Seifert, and Morgan Thomas each collected multiple hits for the SCC Cougars.  

With the initial win of game one, the Cougars started with momentum, scoring seven runs in the first two innings of game two. Chloe Staffen led with three hits in three at bats in the game. Nevaeh Carter and Ella Lause each collected multiple hits for the SCC Cougars, as well. Maci Knowles started as pitcher in game two, pitching four innings, allowing only four hits and two runs.
