Softball Shuts Down UNC Wilmington

WILMINGTON, NC - In the final game of the Seahawk Softball Bash, the Army West Point softball team shut down UNC Wilmington to earn its first win of the 2016 season. The Black Knights tallied 10 hits in today's 3-1 victory and tallied zero errors. "I was really proud of how the team responded to the past two days," said head coach Michelle DePolo. "Our offense continued to put runners on base and push done runs across, but the story of the day was exceptional defense. The success of this team in the long run is predicated on solid defense and timely hitting, today was an exemplary performance of both. Caroline pitched a terrific game and got a lot of support from her catcher and defense." Kristen McPeek led the Black Knights with two RBIs and added two hits. Ashley Yoo also recorded an RBI, while Mae Wadyka and Alee Rashenskas had two hits apiece. Caroline Smith pitched all seven innings for the Cadets to earn her first win in the circle this season and held the Seahawks scoreless until the seventh inning. Read More
