The four runs gave GSU its first lead of the game against Mercer on Sunday in game two of a doubleheader. - Western Carolina s Stephanie Beatty recorded her 85th career RBI this past weekend, which moves her into first place all-time in Catamount history. - Samford was unable to compete in its scheduled games last week. The Bulldogs game against Jacksonville State last Thursday was canceled due to poor weather and the team did not compete in, but still hosted, the Samford Bulldog Bash due to three members of the Samford team experiencing deaths in the family PRESEASON INFORMATION COACHES PRESEASON POLL Preseason Poll (1st Votes) Total Points 1.
