Midland 9 – Northeast 4

Northeast 11 – Midland 8

Northeast Texas Community College Softball is preparing to start weather-dependent conference games on Saturday, March 16. NTCC finished the non-conference portion of its schedule on Tuesday, March 12, with a split against Midland College. After falling 4-9 in game one, NTCC got hot and scored in almost every inning to pick up the win in game 2, 11-8. The win was a team effort with multiple players hitting well and the pitching staff combining for a multi-pitcher performance to get the win. The Eagles continue to improve each game under first-year Head Coach Haley Colwell. They look to take the momentum to Region 14 play as they head to Athens to face Trinity Valley Community College on Saturday, March 16.
