THE LEADOFF
DSU softball is coming off a fantastic conference weekend with West Georgia that saw the Lady Statesmen taking two games out of three from the Wolves.

Delta State clinched the series win on Sunday in the double-header by taking two wins, 4-2 in game one and 9-5 in game two.

West Georgia spoiled the series sweep on Monday in the single-game series finale when UWG took game three 7-3.
