Archers swing into postseason

The St. Louis Community College softball team is on a roll heading into the postseason.

A doubleheader sweep on April 22-23 boosted the Archers’ overall record to 34-3 as they head into Region 16 play on May 3-4 at Meramec.

The team moved up from No. 13 to No. 9 this week in the NJCAA Division II rankings.

The season highlight so far is the team’s first-ever championship in the Missouri Community College Athletic Conference.

On Monday, the Archers pounded the Central Methodist University JV team 15-0 and 17-0. Then at Rend Lake College on Tuesday, they ran their winning streak to 13 games, sweeping the Warriors 7-5 and 11-5.

The Archers were scheduled to conclude the regular season with a doubleheader Wednesday at Lincoln Land Community College in Springfield, Ill.
