KISSIMMEE,
Fla. - The Caldwell College softball team split a doubleheader with the
University of Minnesota-Duluth, winning the first game 3-1 before falling 7-3
in Game 2 Sunday afternoon at the Rebel Spring Games. Sophomore pitcher
Kristen de la Campa (Whitman, MA/Whitman Hanson) went the distance in
the victory, allowing just three hits and one run. The day's results give
the 12th-ranked Cougars a 4-2 record on the season, while the Bulldogs are
now 9-9.
UMD got on the scoreboard first in Game 1 with a run in the top of the
first. Caldwell answered in the bottom half of the first when senior
Stacy Falkowski (Horseheads, NY/Horseheads) hit a two-run single to put
the Cougars ahead 2-1. Caldwell added an insurance run in the bottom of the
fourth when a double by freshman Alicia Langone (Kendall Park,
NJ/South Brunswick) brought home junior Alyssa Speno (Waterloo,
NY/Waterloo) for a 3-1 advantage.
De la Campa gave up hits in the first, second and fourth innings before
shutting down the Bulldogs over the last three innings for her first win of
the season. Senior Jackie Velardi (Belleville, NJ/Belleville), junior
Nicole Bodrog (Mt. Laurel, NJ/Lenape) and freshman Danielle
Genovese (Livingston, NJ/Livingston) also had hits for Caldwell.
In the second game, the Cougars jumped out to a 3-0 lead with three unearned
runs in the top of the second inning. Four errors in the inning allowed
junior Carrie Flasphaler (Horseheads, NY/Horseheads), freshman
Sydney Day (Houston, TX/Stratford) and Langone score runs. But the
Bulldogs came back with four runs in the bottom of the second on four hits,
including a two-run double by Nikki Jensen. UMD added two runs in the third
and an unearned run in the fourth to make it 7-4.
Senior pitcher Nicole Webb (Toms River, NJ/Manchester Twp.) started
and allowed seven hits and six runs in 2 2/3 innings to take the loss (2-1).
