HOLBROOK,
N.Y. - The Caldwell College softball team lost a pair of non-conference
games to Dowling College, 4-2 and 6-0 Thursday afternoon at PAL Sports
Complex. The results drop the Cougars to 22-10 overall, while the Lions
improve to 23-14 on the season.
Caldwell scored first in Game 1, putting two runs on the board in the top of
the fifth. Freshman Alicia Langone (Kendall Park, NJ/South
Brunswick), left, and junior Nicole Bodrog (Mt. Laurel, NJ/Lenape)
had run scoring singles in the inning, which saw Caldwell record three of
their five hits in the game. But in the bottom of the fifth, Dowling scored
four runs to take a 4-2 lead. Taras Wallace and Kristina DeMeo each had
two-run doubles in the inning in which the Lions had six hits. Pitcher
Jacqueline Lucido (6-5) retired the final six Cougar batters to clinch the
comeback victory. Senior pitcher Nicole Webb (Toms River,
NJ/Manchester Twp.) went the distance, allowing nine hits and four runs
(three earned), to fall to 9-7.
In Game 2, the Lions scored a run in the bottom of the first inning, then
pushed five runs across the plate in the bottom of the second for a 6-0
lead. Pitcher Jackie Rogers did the rest, blanking the Cougars while
allowing just two hits to improve to 10-3. Sophomore Ceci Goforth
(Houston, TX/St. Agnes Academy) took the loss to drop to 6-2.
The Cougars return to action on Saturday, Apr. 20 with a Central Atlantic
