Dodge City softball surpassed last season's win total on Monday with a pair of road victories against Lamar in Colorado, winning 22-1 and 14-6 for the 27th and 28th wins of the season. 

The Conquistadors improved to 28-12 on the season, the most wins under Head Coach Mike Viramontez, and marks the most wins since the 2005 season. 

The Conqs are scheduled for a doubleheader with Colby on Wednesday, April 1st, on the road for their next games, but the weather could possibly change the date of the matchup.
