Blue Wave Blank Rams to Stay Unbeaten

By Cassandra Swartz A nearly perfect night by P.K. Yonge paired with an error-prone evening for Eastside resulted in a 10-0 mercy rule.

Canes Give Wildcats Second Loss of the Season

By Cassandra Swartz: Monday night was the clash of two of the hottest softball offenses around, and Gainesville came out on top against Forest--with both its offense and defense excelling.

Briana Boggs singled home Ayanna Woodard, who had reached on a double, for the first score of the game. Cheyenne Boggs then doubled to bring...
