UCCS ELIMINATES
PIONEERS AT NCAA SOFTBALL REGIONALS
Collins Drills Second Home Run of Tournament
SAN
ANTONIO, Tex. – After
nearly a six and a half hour delay, NCAA Softball Regional
Tournament play resumed between Texas Woman's University
and Colorado-Colorado Springs. UCCS earned a 2-1 victory
and eliminated the Pioneers from the tournament.
UCCS jumped out to a 1-0 lead in the first
inning, and held that edge as the rains began at approximately
2:30 p.m. CST. Played picked up at 8:50 p.m. in the bottom
of the second inning.
TWU senior Jennifer Collins (Forney,
TX) hit her second home run in as many days – a
solo shot way over the left field fence – in the
top of the fourth inning to tie the score at 1-all. The
Mountain Lions scored the eventual winning run in the fifth
inning on a single from Lindsay Shandera to score Sonia
Reyes.
Despite a pair of Pioneer hits in the seventh
inning from junior Rachel
Townsend (Jacksonville,
AR) and sophomore Sarah
White (Lewisville,
TX), TWU could not get on the board again and UCCS
advanced to the third day of tournament play.
The Pioneers conclude their season with a 40-15
record.
