The Mustangs were victorious the last time they faced the Cougars, a victory that might not have happened without Hoeft: she struck out eight batters over six innings while giving up just two earned (and two unearned) runs off six hits (and not a single walk). Can she match (or beat) that stellar performance? Come back here after the game to get an analysis of the match and other softball content.
