LAWRENCEVILLE, Ga. - Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference softball continued last week highlighted by Dallas opening its 2019 campaign by getting off to its best start since 2008 through four games with a 3-1 mark.

The Crusaders (3-1, 0-0) swept its opening series against Southwestern (KS) last Friday, winning game one, 7-6, and taking game two, 10-2. Dallas then split a twin bill with Hendrix on Sunday, collecting a 3-2 victory in extra innings. Liz Cordova led the way at the plate for the Crusaders, batting .500 with six hits, two doubles and two runs scored, while Paige Rasmussen collected two wins in the circle. 
 
Southwestern (6-0, 0-0) continued its torrid start to open the season as the Pirates are now off to their best start in program history following a sweep of Our Lady of the Lake University, pitching shutouts in both games. Junior Lindsey Longuet took the ball in game one and pitched a complete game shutout with five strikeouts, allowing just two hits in seven innings to lead the Pirates. 
 
Texas Lutheran (3-1, 0-0) returned to the diamond last week, splitting a doubleheader with Concordia. Cassie Roche went 3-for-5 at the plate with three RBI, two steals and one homerun to lead the Bulldogs. Kelsie Stone picked up the win for TLU after she tossed a five-inning complete game in the Bulldogs’ 8-0 win in game two. 
 
Austin College (0-11, 0-0) fell to 0-11 to start the year after falling in all seven of its contests last week, while Centenary (0-5, 0-0) is still in search of its first win on the year after being swept by Texas A&M-Texarkana last Saturday in the Ladies’ only action.
