We're still working on a few kinks that will make us a tougher team by the end of the season." He added, "Shout out to the Softball staff and team for stopping by before their game today!"
With the win, the Bulldogs move to 4-1 overall, and 2-0 in conference action. They are scheduled to be back on court Wednesday, hosting the Sterling College Warriors at the Bulldog Tennis Center at 3:30 pm.
