NORTHEAST GLENDALE — Dave “Hawk” Wilder is trying to remain patient. It certainly hasn’t been easy. Wilder, the veteran Glendale Community College softball coach, hasn’t seen too many things go right on offense and defense for the Vaqueros throughout the season. Wilder saw more bad than good as the Vaqueros were swept by visiting Citrus College in a Western State Conference doubleheader at the Glendale Sports Complex on Tuesday. Glendale college suffered a 3-2 loss in the opener before absorbing a 5-4 loss in the second game.
