After last weekend’s second place finish at the Tennessee Invitational, the softball team headed to Hempstead, New York to compete in the Hofstra Invitational this weekend. The team played Connecticut and Hofstra two times each and finished the tournament 0-4.
The weekend began with a game against the University of Connecticut Huskies. Connecticut opened the scoring in the first inning with three runs off of two hits. The early lead was increased to four points in the third inning after a scoreless second inning. The top of the fifth inning saw two consecutive singles by Lauren Zick and Yvonne Rericha but the team couldn’t bring them home because of three outs in a row pitched by Connecticut’s starting pitcher, Chelsea Eckert.
