ROCK HILL, S.C. – The Georgetown University softball team split a pair on the opening day of the Winthrop Tournament in Rock Hill, South Carolina. The Hoyas fell 6-0 in game one of the day to Boston University (6-0) but bounced back in the second game with a 2-1 victory over Holy Cross (0-1). Junior Savannah Jones gave GU its first victory of the season with a pair of home runs against the Crusaders. With the 1-1 record on the day, the Blue & Gray holds a 1-6 mark on the season.
