Softball Takes One, Leaves Two

This weekend the Fairfield softball team headed out to Stony Brook, N.Y., for three games in the Stony Brook Invitational.

The girls started out well, posting at 5-3 victory against host school Stony Brook early Saturday morning. Once again, Julia Jacoby '08 stepped up at the plate for the Stags, slamming a two-run double in the second. Cagney Ringnalda '07 pitched the majority of the game before passing off the glove to Meghan Borst '10.

Things went downhill from there, as the team moved on to a noontime matchup against Long Island. Fairfield let up nine runs before it was able to return three, but a last-ditch effort was not enough and left the score at 9-3.

It was deja vu all over again on Sunday, as the team faced off against Quinnipiac University and let up 10 runs in the first inning. Jacoby, Borst, Breanne Morschauser '08 and Kristie Trifiolis '10 all struck back, but the game ended at 12-6.

The team is back in action on Wednesday against Yale.
