Greensboro, NC

The Pride Softball team won its 5th consecutive game with a Sunday sweep of Ithaca yesterday (March 13th).  Greensboro overcame an early 3-0 deficit in game one, winning 9-6 behind clutch performances at the plate from Alexis Sox and Hannah King.  Sox went 3-4 for the game, scoring a run in the process.  King's 2-RBI single in the 5th inning put Greensboro on top 5-4, and M'Kenzie Davis' triple brought in three more runs in part of the pivotal 5th inning.

In game two, Alexis Sox and Hannah King again provided a spark for the Pride offense.  Sox put the Pride in front on a 2-RBI double in the 3rd inning, Hannh King as the next batter brought Sox in to score on a RBI-single.  Speedster Brittany Apgar capitalized on a fielding error by Ithaca to put Greensboro up 4-0 in the 5th inning.

Lauren Engel went the distance from the mound, pitching a complete game shutout, allowing just three hits and one walk.

Greensboro improves to 9-1 on the year, and will  head to Roanoke on March 17th at 2pm.
