WC softball season ends in Waco

After advancing to the regional semifinals for the third consecutive year, the Weatherford College softball team was eliminated from the Region V-North Tournament Saturday in Waco. 

WC had defeated Cisco College and McLennan Community College Thursday and faced top-seeded Grayson College Friday. The Coyotes and the Vikings were tied 4-4 going into the eighth inning, but Grayson put up three runs in the top of the eighth and held on to win, 7-4. 

Annabelle Guay hit a home run for WC and added two walks. Lencia Powell was 3-for-4 with an RBI. Carter Smith went 3-for-5 with an RBI. 

In an elimination game Saturday, McLennan beat WC 11-0. Jacinta Fonoti was 2-for-2 for WC. 

Grayson topped McLennan in the championship game and advanced to the national tournament. 

Weatherford finished 39-16 overall, the program's highest win total since taking the conference title in 2017.
