The No. 10-ranked Emory softball team continued its blitz through the University Athletic Association Tournament on Saturday as it breezed to a pair of wins.  The Eagles opened the day with a five-inning, 12-0 victory over Brandeis before bulldozing Case Western Reserve, 12-1, in five innings.  Emory now stands 19-0 in overall play, 5-0 in the UAA.  The Eagles have outscored their conference foes by a 57-3 margin with three more games to be played.

Emory spread out the offensive attack in the decision against the Judges of Brandeis with nine players accounting for the squad's 10 hits and seven coming through with RBIs. Juniors Jessica Thomas and Jessica Boni each knocked in two runs as did sophomore Dana Goodenough.  The Eagles scored four times in the top of the first with Goodenough knocking in one run with a two-base hit and Boni driving home a pair with a two-bagger of her own.  After adding one run in the third, Emory put the game out of reach with six runs in the third.  Freshman pitcher Lena Brottman notched the win, tossing the first four innings and fanning four while allowing just two hits.  Sophomore Jaclyn Jacobi came on in the fifth and retired the side in order.

The Eagles had five players finish with two or more hits against CWRU, led by freshman center fielder Ally Kersthold who went 4-for-4 at the plate with two runs scored and one RBI.  Sophomore catcher Megan Fouse participated in the 19-hit attack by picking up three safeties in four plate appearances and scoring twice. Sophomore Ellyn Kocoloski blasted a grand slam that was the big blow in a nine-run second inning and senior Brittany Boeshore added a two-run homer in fourth inning that closed out Emory's scoring.  Freshman Amanda Kardys registered the win on the mound, hurling all five innings and striking out three and allowing just three hits.

Emory returns to action on Sunday (Mar. 13) when it battles Washington University in a 10:00 a.m. start.
