Charleston, S.C. – College of Charleston hosts Monmouth looking to continue its hot stretch in CAA play. The Cougars and Hawks play a doubleheader Saturday at noon and a single game at the same time Sunday.
Saturday will be Senior Day with pitcher Katie Freeman and outfielder Kayla Gutierrez honored before the first game.
The Cougars have won five of their last six conference games, including a sweep of Hampton at Patriots Point and taking two of three at Drexel last weekend. Their seven CAA victories have already matched last year's total.
The Hawks have won five games in their debut season in the CAA. Monmouth took two of three from Hampton and have wins over Elon, Hofstra and North Carolina A&T.
