AUSTIN, Texas (February 27, 2016) – Home runs by Sammie Murrietta and Morgan Colburn help lead the Lady Chaps to a 3-1 win over St. Edward's to wrap up play at Diane Daniels Field on Saturday.
 
LONG BALL
Murrietta hit a solo home run in the top of the first inning to get LCU (17-7) on the scoreboard first. The Hilltoppers (12-7) got that run back in the third inning when Megan Hoffman doubled through the right side to drive in Kaci Olson. Colburn responded in the fourth inning by leading off and launching the first pitch over the center field fence for her tem and conference-leading 11^th home run of the year.
 
MORE MORGAN
Colburn came up big again in the fifth inning with the bases loaded by driving in Ashton Bell for LCU's third run of the game. The Lady Chaps scored 10 runs on the weekend in the three-game series. Colburn was responsible for driving in six of those runs.
 
IN THE CIRCLE
Katera Eltsosie (10-3) notched her 10th victory of the season by throwing all seven innings, allowing the one run off of only four hits while striking out three SEU batters. The Hilltoppers used three pitchers in the game with Ashlee Rex (2-2) suffering her second loss of the year.
 
ON THE ROAD AGAIN
The Lady Chaps will wrap up their month-long, 21-game road trip on Tuesday traveling to Portales, N.M., to take on head coach Katie Welborn and her Greyhounds of Eastern New Mexico in a double-header with the first game scheduled to start at 1 p.m. (CST).
