KEEP THE STREAK
Junior infielder Kylee Stacy was 3-for-4 with an RBI in Wednesday's game two win over Glenville State. Her three-hit performance marked the 13^th straight game she has reached base safely dating back to CU's game against Clarion at The Spring Games. Additionally, game two was her ninth multi-hit game this season and the third time collecting three or more hits in a game. Stacy is hitting a team-high .380 this spring paired with a .432 on-base percentage. Last season, she picked up multi-hit games against both Davis & Elkins and West Virginia Wesleyan. She was 3-for-5 with an RBI double in CU's 6-1 victory at Davis & Elkins, while going 2-for-3 in a 5-3 loss at West Virginia Wesleyan.
 
DANGEROUS ON THE BASES
While also being CU's leading base stealer, Stacy will match up against Division II's best baserunner in Davis & Elkins' senior outfielder Sharon Morales. Morales has stolen 35 bases in just 23 games played. She is tied for first in the country, but her 1.52 stolen bases per game leads the nation. She notched four stolen bases against Fairmont State earlier this season. Across 23 games, Morales has a stolen base in 19 games while swiping multiple bags in 11 of those games. Stacy leads Concord with 14 stolen bases, tying her for fourth in the conference. She has had four games stealing two or more bases and is tied for second all-time in program history with 45 career stolen bases.  
 
LAST YEAR'S RECAP
The Mountain Lions split the season series 2-2 with Davis & Elkins last season, scoring six runs in both wins. In game one at D&E, CU used a season-best 17 hits to best the Senators. In that game, all nine CU starters recorded a hit, with junior infielder Courtney Raines logging three hits and driving in three runs. Sophomore catcher Morgan Gleason, sophomore first baseman Morgan Cline, and junior outfielder Kayla McCraw also added two hits at the dish. Cline also added two hits in when the teams met in Athens. WVWC took all four games against Concord last spring, shutting out the Mountain Lions in three of the four games.
