Emory Softball Splits UAA Tourney Saturday Games

Washington University 8, Emory 1

Emory 3, Brandeis 1


After battling mother nature the past couple of days, the Emory  University softball team resumed action at the University Athletic Association Tournament Championship on Saturday.  The Eagles split a pair of contests, dropping an 8-1 decision to No. 6-ranked Washington University before regrouping to notch a 3-1 triumph over Brandeis.  The split leaves the Eagles' overall record at 10-8, 4-2 in the UAA.

In Saturday's opener, Emory fell into a hole after Wash U. scored five runs in its half of the third inning.  The Eagles accounted for their lone run of the game in the top of the fourth when a two-out single by sophomore Jen Haag scored Jessica Boni.  The Bears put the game out of reach when it tacked on three more runs in the sixth.

After getting roughed up by Wash U earlier in the day, sophomore pitcher Bridget Holloway turned in a superb performance on the mound against Brandeis, going all seven innings and giving up just five hits while striking out seven.  The Emory bats kept the pressure on the Judges all evening, totaling 11 hits including three extra-base safeties. Freshman Ellen Kocoloski went 3-for-3 with a pair of RBIs while senior Cassie Walsh chipped in a pair of hits.  Emory picked up its initial run in the first frame, putting together three consecutive two-out hits, with sophomore Jessica Thomas' single driving in senior Caitlin Fitzgerald.  A single by Kocoloski in the third pushed home junior Nikki Perez while her double in the fifth enabled pinch runner Michelle Geannakakes to score.

Emory will close out UAA Tournament action on Sunday with games vs. Rochester (10:00 a.m.) and Case Western (12:30 p.m.).
