The Ladies (19-20, 14-15 SCAC) have now made nine-consecutive SCAC Tournament appearances. Centenary went 0-2 in last season's event held in Seguin, Texas as the Maroon and White fell to Southwestern in its opener and was eliminated by the University of St. Thomas. The Tigers (30-10, 23-7 SCAC) made it to the championship game last season before falling to Texas Lutheran University.
Centenary has a .276 team batting average with a .359 OBP and is slugging .342 with 10 home runs, 48 extra-base hits, and 361 total bases. The Ladies have scored 177 total runs and average 4.5 per game with 10 games of 10+ hits. The Ladies scored a season-high 11 runs against McMurry on April 11 and have scored eight or more runs in a game eight times and 10 or more three times.
The Ladies' 14 conference wins this season are the most in a single season in the division III era (2013-present) and their 19 overall wins are one shy of a D3-program high 20 accomplished in 2018.
Centenary and Trinity met in San Antonio during the regular season as the Tigers recorded a series sweep, winning 4-0, 3-1, and 6-0. The Ladies rebounded from that sweep by winning two of three against Schreiner University in Kerrville, Texas last weekend to cap the regular season. The last meeting between the Ladies and Tigers in the SCAC Championship was in 2023 with Trinity claiming a 1-0 win.
