LAS VEGAS, N.M.- The Cougars closed their regular season with a doubleheader at New Mexico Highlands on Saturday. Following a 17-2 game one victory, the Cowgirls stormed back late for a 5-4 win in the second contest.

GAME ONE
The offense took over early, starting with an RBI single from Sydney Reamer and another RBI knock from Piper Lujan. Taylor Olsen led off the third with a homer, and Samaria Roop singled home two more to make it 5-0.

Kayla Middleton brought in another run with a sacrifice fly in the fourth before an explosion from the plate in the fifth. Kenzie Middleton smacked an RBI double and Sami Edwards singled her home right after. Reamer picked up two more RBI with a single and Lujan brought home another two with a single of her own. 

Logan Menzies singled home a run and several walks and a single from Edwards later and the score stood at 15-1. Reamer capped the inning with another single, bringing home two runs as she picked up four RBI in the fifth inning alone. 

Alexis Hamilton pitched a complete game to secure the 17-2 run-rule victory. The win was her 20th of the year as she struck out two with just one walk and two runs allowed. 

GAME TWO
Offense was not as prevalent in the second contest, as both teams struggled to score early on. The Cougars struck first via an error from the Cowgirls that allowed two to score. Another error in the third inning made it 3-0 Colorado Christian. 

Kayla Middleton stretched the lead to 4-0 with an RBI single in the sixth as the Cougars looked to be in control. However, New Mexico Highlands staged a furious rally in their half of the sixth. An RBI single loaded the bases, and a grand slam in their next at bat gave the Cowgirls a 5-4 lead they would not relinquish, closing out the game with a double play.

UP NEXT- The Cougars will now head to the RMAC Tournament in Grand Junction May 5-7 as they look to bring home the program's first conference title.
