DURANGO, Colo. – Chadron State College (4-37, 4-28 RMAC) will soar into Durango this Saturday and Sunday, Apr. 18-19, as the Eagles take on the Fort Lewis softball team (8-34, 7-25 RMAC) in the Skyhawks annual four-game Nike N7 series, presented by SkyUte Resort & Casino, at Aspen Field up on the rim. Doubleheaders are scheduled for Noon and 11 a.m., respectively.
 
Nike N7
This weekend's series has been tabbed as the Skyhawks annual Nike N7 series, presented by SkyUte Resort & Casino. Since its creation in 2009, the Nike N7 Fund has awarded over $7.5 million in grants to 259 Native American and Aboriginal communities and organizations, reaching more than 500,000 youths. The N7 Fund supports organizations that provide sports and physical activity programming to youth in these communities. Fort Lewis College is honored to be one of just 11 institutions nationwide selected to participate in the games.
 
Last Time Out
Fort Lewis is coming home after surrendering a road series three games to one up at Colorado Mesa University (21-19, 20-12 RMAC) last weekend. Despite the tough series against the historical powerhouse Mavericks, the Skyhawks did manage to steal game one, 4-2, on the strength of a grand slam from Cali Niccum to snap a 37-game losing streak to CMU. FLC did put up 20 total runs in the series, paced by Alyssa Fockler's team-leading five hits in the series, just ahead of Izzy Cueva and Stella Romeo, who put up four hits each. Izzy Cueva leads the team with an eight-game hitting streak, followed by a pair of four-game streaks for Fockler and Skyler Dietz.
