The Sun Prairie West softball team's first conference win of the 2025 season came in about as dramatic a way as possible. The Wolves entered a home matchup with Janesville Craig on Thursday, April 10 winless in two Big Eight conference tries and desperate to get on the right side of things. The visiting Cougars would not make this an easy task. kAm$F? !C2:C:6 (6DE 6?E6C65 E96 3@EE@> @7 E96 D6G6?E9 :??:?8 EC2:=:?8 h\g] p 4=FE49 5@F3=6 7C@> ;F?:@C t>>2 ~=D6?

The Marshall and Waterloo softball programs are making of habit of playing must-watch showdowns with high stakes in regards to the fate of the Capitol - South conference. Last spring, the Cardinals and Pirates opened conference play against each other at Waterloo in early April. The tight contest was decided by a walk-off double from then-sophomore Marissa Spoke to give the host Pirates a 2-1 victory.
