Clark hit. 700 in the leadoff spot for the Bulldogs, scoring four runs and stealing 14 bases, as her squad swept Centenary in a three-game SCAC home series. The sophomore had seven stolen bases in Friday's second game, which tied the NCAA Division-III single-game record and broke both the program and SCAC record.
