Hoyas Fall on Second Day of FGCU Kickoff Classic

FORT MYERS, Fla. – The Georgetown University softball team fell in both contests on the second day of the FGCU Kickoff Classic, hosted by Florida Gulf Coast University. The Hoyas had an early lead in game one against Long Island University but eventually fell short 3-1. In the second game of the day, GU had a tough 5-0 loss to host FGCU. With the pair of losses, Georgetown holds a 0-4 mark on the early season while LIU advances to 2-1 and FGCU holds a 3-0 undefeated record.
 
Against LIU
 
How it Happened
  • Georgetown took an early 1-0 lead in the bottom of the first. Junior Macy Cartwright walked to first and made it to third off a perfect sacrifice bunt from sophomore Kiki Besnard. Cartwright scored the first run for the Hoyas when Noelle Holiday hit a sacrifice fly and earned an RBI after Cartwright sped to the plate on the throw.
  • The Sharks took the lead in the top of the fifth off of a three-run homer. LIU's Ciara Granado hit one out of the park and brought in two runners on base to make it 3-1.
  • The Blue & Gray struggled to get the bats going in order to take back its lead, dropping a 3-1 decision.
 
Of Note
  • Junior London Diller pitched the first 6.0 innings for the Blue & Gray. Diller gave up three runs off of five hits, struck out two and walked four.
  • Senior Katie Vannicola finished the game for GU in the circle and didn't allow any hits from the Sharks as the Hoyas tried to hold them off from scoring any more runs.
