Saint Vincent’s Alona Sleith set the single-season school record for home runs last season.

The PAC softball championship will be settled in Latrobe.

Saint Vincent earned the top seed in the conference tournament and with it, the right to host the event on Thursday and Friday.

Saint Vincent (25-13, 13-3) has not hosted since 2012 and will be seeking its first conference title since 2016.

The other teams are No. 2 Thiel (17-23), No. 3 Westminster (18-16) and No. 4 Geneva (19-17), the last of which will play Saint Vincent at noon Thursday. Thiel and Westminster open play at 10 a.m.

The tournament is double elimination. The champion goes to the NCAA Division III Championship regionals starting May 9 at a time and site to be determined.

Saint Vincent leads the PAC in a number of offensive categories, including batting average (.345), slugging (.440), on-base (.397), runs (249), hits (382), RBIs (227), and a few pitching slots including ERA (2.55).
