Two strong performances from the OKWU softball team on Tuesday were more than enough for the Lady Eagles to overcome Bethany on the road and pick up the first sweep of the KCAC season. The Lady Eagles won the first game 9-1 and followed that up with an 8-0 shutout win in Game 2 to improve to 14-7 on the season.
