TUCSON, Ariz. – The tenth-ranked Eagles took care of business again on Saturday winning a pair of games to move to 11-0 overall and 4-0 at this week's Desert Stinger Tournament.

It's the best start for the Eagles in the NCAA DII era and also the most wins to start the season for the program since 2015 when they won 17 straight to begin their last NAIA season.

PacWest Player of the Week Missy Nemeth smashed her third home run of the year and teammate Rylie Rohr also went yard in the second game of the day.

Game 1: CUI 10, Regis 1

Concordia scored ten unanswered runs after falling behind 1-0 in the first inning against the Rangers.  Rylie Rohr and Shelli Faulk each supplied two-run singles to promptly put CUI ahead 4-1 in the bottom of the first.

Moments after a sac fly by Kendall Flatt scored Lauren Lopez, Michalah Robison knocked Faulk home with a RBI double of her own.

After posting six runs in the opening frame, CUI added three more in the next. Lauren Lopez added a two-run double in the second inning to plate Mia Saucedo and Sydney Sprinkle and then Faulk again provided a spark with a RBI single to make it 9-1.

Kaia Nisby recorded her first RBI single of the season with a base hit to left field in the third. Megan Johnson also collected her first hit of the 2022 campaign.

Katlin Entrup improved to 4-0 by earning the victory on the mound.  Freshman Bella Calvo also made her CUI debut and tossed two scoreless innings of relief.

Game 2: CUI 9, Central Washington 6

Rylie Rohr and Nemeth cracked back-to-back home runs in the fourth inning to put CUI up 3-1.  

Nemeth already had a RBI single in her first at-bat against the Wildcats and she added another RBI single in the fifth to plate Johnson who came on as a pinch-runner for Sprinkle. That made it 5-2 CUI at that point.

Megan Massa posted another multi-hit game including a two-run double in the sixth to push the lead to 8-3. She has hit safely in 10 of CUI's first 11 games.

Danielle Michaels also started as the designated player and smacked two base hits.

Massa, Sprinkle, Lopez and Nemeth are off to sizzling starts at the plate. They are all hitting over .400 with Nemeth holding a ridiculous .519 batting average in 11 games to lead the Eagles.  Sprinkle has hit 10-for-20 for a .500 average in seven starts.

Mia Saucedo also has hit safely in eight of her first 10 appearances as an Eagle.

"Our offense was dominant today and they responded every time they were needed," said CUI softball head coach Crystal Rosenthal.  "Missy Nemeth was big for us but it was balanced up and down our lineup. It was a fun day for our offense."

Erika Morris was the pitcher of record and improved to 3-0 on the season.  She pitched three innings and allowed only two unearned runs in relief of starter Cortney Koelmans.

Entrup earned her first save as an Eagle by registering the final two outs after CWU drew within three in the final inning.

CUI returns to action with two more tournament games on Sunday with an 8:30 a.m. (PT)/ 9:30 a.m. clash with San Francisco State.
