COLUMBUS - The Columbus State University softball team will finally enter Peach Belt Conference this weekend as the Cougars head to Young Harris, Ga. for a doubleheader against the No. 17 Mountain Lions on Saturday.. The first pitch is at 2 p.m. at the YHC Softball Field.

The Cougars (10-6) saw their six-game winning streak come to an end on Wednesday after dropping a pair of games against the University of Montevallo. Columbus State is looking to improve to 2-3 on the road this year, as Young Harris College (13-4, 2-0 PBC) looks to up its record to 6-1 at home.

• Paige Vincent led the Cougars offensively against Montevallo as the second-year freshman finished the day 5-for-8 with an  RBI. Hannah Rose Corbin, Caitlyn Canady and Elyse Ambrose each added home runs versus the Falcons.

• The Cougars are still at the top in nearly every PBC hitting category. CSU leads the conference with a .448 on-base percentage and is tied for first with Georgia Southwestern University with 18 homers. Columbus State ranks second with 97 runs scored, right behind Young Harris who has scored 125 times already this season. 

• Hannah Rose Corbin leads the conference in home runs with seven and is currently tied for second in the nation. The third-year sophomore also leads the PBC in on-base percentage (.623) and walks (23), while ranking second in slugging percentage (1.028) and runs scored (17).
