BOX SCORE

Washington, DC - Freshman pitcher McKaleigh Goodale (Bradenton, FL/Lakewood Ranch) twirled a no-hitter and the Seahawk bats banged out 10 hits as the Wagner softball team posted a 9-0 victory in a five-inning affair in day two of the Colonials Tournament hosted by George Washington University.

After Howard's at-bat in the top of the fifth, the game was called due to the enforcement of the NCAA's  run ahead rule which is invoked if one team is ahead by at least eight runs after five innings.

In earning its second win over Howard in as many days, the Seahawks improve to 4-6 on the season, while the Bison fall to 1-3.

Goodale, who also earned the win in yesterday's 8-5 victory over Howard, needed just 68 pitches today while recording six strikeouts and one walk, the latter of which occurred in the first inning.

Junior Kelsey Parker (Lynnwood, WA/Lynnwood) paced the Green & White offensive with a four-RBI performance this afternoon, bringing her total number of RBIs to five on the weekend. Freshman Taylor Beeson (Mesa, AZ/Red Mountain) knocked in two runs, for the Seahawks. On the heels of her four-RBI effort in yesterday's win over the Bison, Beeson has a weekend total of six RBIs.

The Seahawks, who were the home team during today's game, began their scoring barrage in the bottom of the first inning as a Parker base hit drove in Beeson, who had doubled, to make it a 1-0 game. An RBI single by Brenda Bott (Fountain Valley, CA/Fountain Valley) then brought home Parker to make it a 2-0 ballgame.

In the bottom of the second, Matteoni reached on a base hit, stole second, and came around to score on a Beeson single to increase the Wagner lead to 3-0.

Wagner broke the game wide open in the in the bottom of the third inning by plating six runs. With the bases loaded, Brianna Tredway (Downington, PA/Downington West) and Matteoni delivered back-to-back RBI singles, driving in Abigail Beasley (Peoria, AZ/Centennial) and Hana Gilbert (Valley Center, CA/Valley Center), respectively. Later in the inning, Aerika High (Manheim, PA/Manheim Central) scored before Parker came up with a big blow, belting a three-run double to center.

The Green & White have two games on tap tomorrow, beginning with a 9:00 am matchup with Binghamton, followed by an 11:15 am meeting with host George Washington.
