The Midland College Lady Chaps improved to 34-4 in 2026, including 12-0 with a four-game WJCAC sweep of Howard College.  MC also extended their current win streak to 12 games.  The Lady Chaps received strong performances by sophomore Adelina Noriega who went 9-11 over the four game series, including two homeruns and seven RBI.  In addition to Noriega's display, Alexys Cornejo, Mia Garcia and Jozanna Montes added a significant offensive punch to the lineup.  Midland College outscored the Hawks 40-3 in the series.   

MC's pitching staff was outstanding with Anays Perez picking up wins 15 and 16.  Lady Chap sophomore Marie Rondeau was sensational in a no-hit, shutout win in game three of the series.  Rondeau recorded nine Ks in the contest.  Freshman hurler Skylar Finlayson picked up her third win of the season in game #2.   

The Lady Chaps will next be in action on Friday, April 24th @ 1:00 p.m. and 3:00 p.m. at Lady Chaps Field when they take on WJCAC rival Odessa College.  The series moves to Odessa on Saturday, April 25th, also at 1:00 p.m. and 3:00 p.m.  This weekend's outcome will likely determine the WJCAC champion as well as deciding the seeding for the upcoming NJCAA Region 5 post-season tournaments.
