Final Stats
RALEIGH, N.C. - The Georgetown University softball team (6-7) fell behind Longwood (9-6) early and could not muster the offense to put pressure on the Lancers, dropping the decision 7-1 on Sunday morning at the Wolfpack Classic.
The Hoyas once again received production from the top of their lineup as Kelsie Hanson (Katy, Texas/Katy) went 2-for-3 with a run and Mackensey Carter (Mission Viejo, Calif./Mission Viejo) went 2-for-3 with an RBI. The run would be GU's lone score. Carter took the loss, allowing five runs on seven hits over 5.0 innings. Melissa Conners (Wellington, Fla./Wellington) allowed two runs on one hit in 1.0 inning. Briana Wells earned the victory for Longwood allowing one run, unearned on seven hits over 7.0 innings.
The Lancers got on the board first, as Nichole Simmons hit a two-run home run in the first inning to take a 2-0 lead. Ashley Kramer would add to the lead in the bottom of the second inning with a solo home run, extending the lead to three.
Simmons drove in two more runs in the fifth inning with a double to right centerfield to give Longwood a 5-0 lead. The Hoyas answered a half inning later in the top of the sixth when Hanson singled with one out then came around to score on Carter's single up the middle.
Jordan Cox would hit a two-run homer of her own in the bottom of the sixth inning to give Longwood a 7-1 lead, the eventual final score.
