KING'S SOFTBALL TRAVELING TO WILKES SATURDAY FOR IMPORTANT CONFERENCE DOUBLEHEADER
WILKES-BARRE -- When the King's College softball team travels cross-town to meet city rival Wilkes University, both teams will be looking at matchup as critical for two different reasons.
King's, which enters the matchup with a 12-10 overall record and a 6-2 Freedom Conference mark is looking to improve its position in the Freedom Conference as the Lady Monarchs are locked in a three-way tie for first-place with two weeks remaining in the regular season. Wilkes, meanwhile, is 7-17 overall and 2-6 in league games and will look at the series as an opportunity to work its way back into contention.
