Greensboro, NC - It was a perfect day at Barber Park as Greensboro College Softball (2-0) swept their season-opening games against Roanoke College (0-2) on Saturday afternoon.

Game One: Greensboro 3, Roanoke 2

Greensboro won in come-from-behind fashion in game one. After the Maroons got out to an early 1-0 lead, Jordyn Tong hit a home run in her first at-bat of the season to tie the game 1-1.

Roanoke took the lead again in the third inning, and would lead 2-1 going into the bottom of the sixth. It was junior catcher Katherine Connell who played the hero, as she ripped a two-run single to center field in the sixth to give Greensboro the lead.

Freshman Kenly Brown, who came in relief of starter Raina Hampel, shut the door in the seventh and earned her first career win in the circle. 

The offense totaled 5 hits on the day with 3 walks. Hampel went 4.1 innings in the circle, giving up just 1 earned run with 3 strikeouts. Brown would throw 2.2 scoreless innings, giving up just 1 hit.

Game Two: Greensboro 3, Roanoke 1

The strong pitching remained the theme for Greensboro in game two as senior Anna Frazier dominated in the circle. She would go 5.0 innings, giving up 3 hits and 1 run while striking out 5. 

With the game tied 1-1, Frazier would come through with the game-winning hit in the fifth inning on a two-RBI single to center field. Ella Ebert would come in to pitch the final two frames to earn her first save of the season.

Notes:
- Frazier has now won her first start of the season in back-to-back years.
- Ebert's save was her fourth of her career.
