ROCK HILL, S.C. – With the season-starting nine-game homestand now in the rearview mirror, the Presbyterian College softball team will make their first road trip of the year (albeit a short one) this weekend when visiting Big South member Winthrop for a quartet of neutral-site games.

The Blue Hose will encounter Drexel and George Washington twice each over the next 48 hours. This marks the first of three non-conference tournaments where PC is a visiting party, as they are also set to visit Mercer and Jacksonville as the season progresses.

Presbyterian has a brief history with both the Dragons and the Revolutionaries, hoping to improve on a 5-4 ledger with two-and-a-half weeks gone by.

On Wednesday, the Scotsmen agitated Wofford for five scoreless innings before ultimately taking a 5-1 setback. They'll meet the Terriers again in Spartanburg on March 18.

SCOUTING DREXEL
 

- It's a new era for the Dragons – who have won three of their first five meetings – as head coach Brooke Kalman is in the early stages of her first season at Drexel.

- She took the job after leading Division III Gettysburg College to a Centennial Conference regular season championship, taking over a program that was a woeful 5-41 last year.

- Drexel produced 20 combined runs in two victories over Bellarmine and found their most recent win against West Georgia on Sunday. They bested the Wolves by scoring two error-assisted runs in the last two innings.

- Seven Dragons have hit at least one double, led by outfielder Kylah Reading who is currently hitting .526. Courtney Kols is the team's biggest pitching contributor, with 21 innings thrown and a 5.33 ERA.


 
SCOUTING GEORGE WASHINGTON

 
- GW has had a puzzling start to 2026, churning out a couple of wins over Kennesaw State but also taking a pair of lopsided losses to UNC Wilmington and Appalachian State.

- The Revolutionaries have a first-year head coach as well: Matt Klapmert, who comes to George Washington after being an assistant at Saint Joseph's and Penn.

- GW won 33 games last spring and was coincidentally eliminated by Saint Joseph's in the Atlantic 10 tournament (6-1). They were picked fifth out of nine in the preseason A-10 coaches poll.

- Infielder Reese Ferrel boasts a .700 slugging percentage in 10 plate appearances, although the Revolutionaries have yet to hit a home run in four games. Cece Smith holds a 4.06 earned-run average after 10.1 innings of work.


 
LAST TIME OUT

 
- It was a defensive struggle for both sides as Presbyterian silenced an opponent who was putting up nearly eight runs per game, clinging to a 1-0 lead over red-hot Wofford after five.

- However, the Terriers would capitalize on Avery Robinson's exit by scoring five runs in the last two frames to run away with the win and improve to 9-1. Robinson allowed just one hit over 21 batters faced.

- Neither team had any extra-base connections in yesterday's affair, with Presby's lone run coming on a sac fly from Audrey Burton that scored Robinson in the 2^nd.

- PC faced Drexel three times back in 2024, winning the second contest by a 5-2 count but dropping the others by four total runs. They played George Washington a single time last February at home, dropping a 4-2 decision.

- Robinson is the team-leader in both batting average (.444) and ERA (1.35). The Blue Hose are allowing just two runs per game in their five wins over Mercyhurst, Morehead State, UAlbany, and Le Moyne.
