DeLong vs. the Week
Against the seven teams the Aggies will face this weekend, head coach Rodney DeLong is 3-1 overall. Last season in Canyon, DeLong's teams beat Adams State, CSU-Pueblo, and Chadron State. Cameron has yet to face Fort Lewis under DeLong and St. Mary's last faced the Aggies in the 2014 NCAA South Central Regional and won 6-0.

Looking Back
Cameron softball opened their season at home by run-ruling Texas-Permian Basin 11-3 in six innings in game one and blanking them 12-0 in in five innings during the nightcap. The Aggies then traveled to the Southern Arkansas Invitational where they would split six games in three days for a 5-3 overall record. CU handled Rogers State 10-2 in five innings but fell 2-1 to Newman in Friday's nightcap. On Saturday morning, Cameron's bats erupted late behind a one hit shutout by Alyssa Osterdock to beat Lincoln 7-0, and a Sonora Zukerman walk off hit in the bottom of the ninth gave the Aggies a 3-2 win over Southwest Baptist in their second game on Saturday afternoon. Cameron closed out their weekend on Sunday with two losses, falling 9-8 in eight innings to Delta State, and 10-2 to Southern Arkansas.

Chasing Records
With 33 homers Sonora Zukerman is tied for fifth all-time at Cameron, he needs 10 to tie the program mark. Zukerman also sits at 135 career RBIs which is fourth all-time and she is 55 back of Tara Martini (2012-15) for first.
