Things were looking up earlier in the day after they beat the Rams of Fordham, 5-2.

In that contest, Sophia Ramuno and Morgan Reimer combined to pitch a gem, with Reimer getting the save and Ramuno getting the decision. But, as I said yesterday, pitching ruined the Huskies’ chances in the second game of the day against the Bulls, capping off a frustrating last month and a half, which ends an up and down season for the softball program. First, the positives.

Ramuno is the only senior on the roster. This is a young team with plenty of talent, especially in the batting department. Alexis Deboer had 2 RBI singles against Fordham, Junior catcher Jaydn Glab had a 2-4 game against the Rams with an RBI, and started the scoring off with a big fly of her own against South Florida, giving her 2 against the Bulls on the weekend.

Giselle Alvarez went 3-3 against South Florida, including a homer in the 4th. They have the bats. Once again, as on Friday, the pitching doomed the Dawgs against the Bulls.
