LAKEWOOD, CO- It was another exciting day of softball at All Star Park as CCU and Colorado Mesa finished up their series on Sunday. The offense got going in a 6-2 game one victory for the Cougars, but they were stifled in a 2-0 game two defeat. 

GAME ONE 
Camryn Quilling got the scoring started with a solo homer in the second, and Cheyenne Stark singled home a run in the second as well for a 2-0 lead. CMU tallied a run in the third, but Peyton Marvel blasted a homer to left field in the fourth for a 3-1 lead. Quilling stayed red hot at the plate in the fifth, uncorking a massive two-run homer to make it 5-1. Elyse McMullin tacked on an insurance run in the sixth as the Cougars ran away with a 6-2 victory. 

Hanna Espinoza picked up the win in the circle, throwing 5.2 innings with just one run allowed. Quilling paced the offense with her two-homer game, tallying three RBI. 

GAME TWO
Emma Duncan and Preslee Christensen faced off in a pitchers duel in game two as quick outs and strikeouts were a common theme. The two battled into the sixth inning when CMU managed to slap a two-run single for the 2-0 advantage. The Cougars were unable to get a run across in this one as the defense for the Mavericks made several extra-base robbing plays to keep CCU in check and claim the 2-0 victory. 

Duncan struck out seven in 5.1 innings of work with just two runs allowed. 

Colorado Christian now prepares for their second to last regular season RMAC series as they travel to Adams State to begin their series April 18 at 12 and 2 p.m. MST.
