TIGERT, MSU LOOKING FOR FIRST WORLD SERIES: With two wins Saturday against Angelo State, the Mustangs would advance to its first NCAA Division II Softball World Series which is set for May 27-31 at Heritage Park in St. Joseph, Mo. The Mustangs would face the winner of the Central Super Regional between Metro State (Colo.) and Wayne State (Neb.). MSU coach Brady Tigert advanced to the South Central Regional finals as the skipper of Texas A&M-Kingsville in 2002, but fell to St. Mary's (Texas).

WHEN MSU SCORES FIRST: Midwestern State took a 1-0 lead when Katie Petersen's groundout to third base plated pinch runner Megan Chartier in the second inning Friday night. It was the 48th time this season the Mustangs scored first in contest and it was just the third time this season MSU lost a game in which it led first. Midwestern is now 45-3 in contests that it scores first.

PETERSEN SETS LSC STRIKEOUT MARK: Midwestern State senior pitcher Katie Petersen became the Lone Star Conference all-time leader in strikeouts when she fanned Angelo State's Sarah DeMoss for the second out of the third inning Friday night.
