SOUTHWEST SOFTBALL TEAM SWEPT BY COLUMBIA AND VOL

The Southwest softball team traveled to the mid-state area over the weekend to open conference play against two of the top teams in the Tennessee Junior and Community College Athletic Association and were defeated in all four games. The losses dropped the Lady Saluqis’ overall record to 6-14 on the season.

On Saturday night, Southwest was defeated by Columbia State 13-0 and 8-0.
