The Lady Chap softball team successfully defended the home field with a four-game sweep against El Paso Community College last weekend at Lady Chap Field. MC 36-14 (9-7) this season defeated the Tejanas 7-1, 7-4, 8-0 (5 innings) and 6-1 to move past Clarendon College in the WJCAC standings and into a solid position for a post-season berth.

College bats exploded for 47 hits in 103 at-bats (.456) over the weekend led by the usual suspects of Diana de la Paz (7 for 10), Debra Lovell (7 for 12), Kayla Parra (5 for 11) as well as freshman outfielder Earnysha Scroggins (6 for 11) and sophomore outfielder Marlene Fields (6-15).

the Saturday's first game, MC shortstop Debra Lovell broke the team's single season home run record with her 21st of the season. Lovell collected her 22nd homer in Saturday's second game to move to 2nd place nationally in the category. The previous record was held by Natasha Hill in 2002.

Next Games: Friday, April 20th versus Clarendon College in Clarendon (TX) and Saturday, April 21 versus Frank Phillips College in Borger (TX)
