Box Score CULLOWHEE, N.C. – The Samford University softball team dropped the final game of the series against Western Carolina University at the Catamount Softball Complex on April 6.

Taylor Sigmon drove in Price on a hard shot to third which Callie Brister grounded cleanly, looked the runner back and made the out at first but Price advance home as soon as the ball was thrown and the play at the plate was not in time.
