LAWRENCEVILLE, Ga. - The 2017 SCAC softball season got underway this week as six of the league's seven teams took to the field and posted a cumulative 4-14 mark.

Schreiner picked up three of those four wins as freshman Hannah Ortiz pitched a complete-game shutout in her first collegiate start to give the Mountaineers a 7-0 win over Howard Payne in the first game of its season-opening doubleheader on Friday. Schreiner would complete the sweep with a 9-4 win over HPU in the second game.

The following day, Schreiner split a doubleheader with Huston-Tillotson, dropping the first game, 6-4, before rebounding with a dominant run rule, 9-1, win in the second.
