Midwestern State 14, Northeastern State 2 (5 innings) (box score)
NSU jumped on the ball early and scored freshman Lauren Flanary, who reached base on a double down the left field line to begin the game with a one run lead over MSU.

The Mustangs quickly took control over the lead after scoring seven in the home half of the first to take a 7-1 lead over the RiverHawks.

NSU's offense took another shot to turn something out in the top of the fourth and scored in its second and last run of the game to make the score 7-2. Junior Alyssa Aguilar scored on a double from senior Allyson Pogue after Aguilar reached base on a single.  

Midwestern State turned bats in the bottom of the fourth frame and plated seven more runs to close the game with a victory over NSU 14-2 in five innings.

Junior Laura Fleck suffered the loss in the circle after throwing three frames. She allowed 10 hits and 10 runs. Sophomore Alex Files threw the last full inning of the game and allowed three hits and four runs.

Cameron 10, Northeastern State 6 (box score)
The Aggies plated five runs to start off the seven inning game against NSU and lead 5-0. Northeastern State answered back in the home half of the first and trailed 5-2.

Senior Megan Robison led off for the RiverHawks in the bottom of the second frame to reach base on a single through the left side. Senior Navada Campos blasted a homerun to center field to improve the score 5-4. NSU grasped the lead after scoring two more and end the frame ahead of the Aggies, 6-5.

Cameron came back and regained its early lead after scoring one run in the top half of the fourth and two more in the top of the sixth to seal a 10-6 victory over Northeastern State.

Senior Madison Reed scored two of NSU's six runs, while Campos tabbed her second homerun of the season.

Senior Kylee Cole (1-2) threw for three frames and took the loss in the circle. She allowed six hits and eight runs. Sophomore Kayce Wooldridge also pitched for three innings and gave up four hits and two runs.

"Overall, I felt we swung our bats pretty well this weekend, we scored a bunch of runs, but in softball you can score five or six runs in an inning but still come out behind if you give the opponent those big innings, that's something we need to eliminate," coach Clay Davis said. "The combination of our defense and pitching needs to improve. That's something we will work on to get ready for our home festival next weekend. Work to strengthen our lineup."

"Maddie Boyd had a good run this weekend as well as Saharra Henson. Campos is coming out of her slump, she had two big homeruns for us this weekend. We look to up our offensive numbers and wait for our pitching to catch up."

Northeastern State will host a home festival Feb. 22-23 that will include William Jewell and Bacone at RiverHawks Park. NSU will see Bacone first on the first day at noon followed by William Jewell at 3 p.m.
