Softball Goes 1-2, Borst Wins MAAC Rookie Of The Week

The Stags had a disappointing weekend, going only 1-2 and dropping to 4-12 on the year.

After a 5-3 win against Stony Brook, the Stags dropped their next two to Long Island and Quinnipiac.

However, they have still not played a game at home and the MAAC schedule opens this weekend at Fairfield. Hopefully, this will change the Stags' fortunes.

There were some bright spots, though. Freshman Meghan Borst led the way, battting .429 for the week, recording an ERA of 2.79 and earning a save. For her efforts, she was named the MAAC Softball Rookie of the Week in addition to being named to the Stony Brook Invitational All-Tournament Team.

Junior Julia Jacoby was also named to the All-Tournament team. Jacoby is hitting .420 for the year.

One concern for the Stags is their offense, as they are only hitting .241 as a team and have scored only 49 runs in 16 games. Fairfield's opponents are holding the Stags to a 2.19 ERA, while the Stags are yielding a 5.89 ERA.
