The Culver-Stockton softball team is still trying to find its offense after dropping two games on the first day of the Dome Tournament at Saint Ambrose University in Davenport, Iowa, Saturday morning.

The Wildcats managed two hits in a 6-3 setback to Saint Ambrose in the tournament opener. In their second game, the Wildcats collected three hits in a 13-1 loss to St. Xavier University.

In the opener against SAU, C-SC opened the scoring in the second inning when Cierra Bush led off with a double, was sacrificed to third and scored on a squeeze bunt by Lauren Waller.

After the Bees took a 2-1 lead in the bottom of the inning, the Wildcats tied the game in the third inning when Tiffany Lepic walked to start the inning. Lepic stole second, moved to third on a groundout and scored when Hunter Huddle reached on an error by the third baseman.

Saint Ambrose re-gained the lead in the fourth with a pair of runs to make it 4-2. The Wildcats closed to within 4-3 in the sixth when Huddle hit a ball to right that was misplayed by the right fielder, allowing Huddle to circle the bases.

But the Bees added two insurance runs in the bottom the inning to put the game out of reach. Ryley Pecina recorded the only other hit for the Wildcats.

In the second game against St. Xavier, the Cougars plated eight runs in the top of the first inning and was never threatened in the game.

The Wildcats got two doubles from Kataleena Hunt, including a run-scoring two-bagger that scored Lacey Stamper with C-SC's only run. Karli Dant recorded the only other hit for the Wildcats in the game.

C-SC (0-8) is slated to play two more games at the Dome Tournament on Sunday, Feb. 23. The Wildcats play Aquinas (Mich.) at 8:30 a.m. and then have a rematch with Saint Ambrose at 1 p.m.
