CLINTON, S.C. – Signaling the end of the Presbyterian College softball team's nine-game homestand to start the 2026 season, the Blue Hose are set to face a burgeoning Wofford opponent tomorrow for a 6:00 first pitch.

Hoping to sour the Terriers' six-game winning streak, PC will try to keep their own momentum going after a win in four of their last five attempts.

This will be the fourth-ever meeting between the two clubs after Wofford first fielded a softball program in 2024. Head coach David Williams is 2-0 against them when playing in Clinton.

Wednesday's encounter will feature two schools that have already won two individual Player of the Week awards from their respective conferences: Peyton Duncan and Hali Duke claimed the "Pitcher" and "Freshman" honors, respectively.

LAST TIME OUT
