WASHINGTON - Georgetown softball finished the Furman Invitational undefeated after beating Towson 5-4 on Sunday, February 18 in Greenville, South Carolina. The Hoyas now hold a record of 6-4 on the season and have won six straight games.
Statement from Head Coach Pat Conlan
"It was a terrific weekend for us and one that showed what kind of a team we are. It was total team effort. Everyone had a hand in our five wins. We put every part of the game together this weekend. This team fought, stayed composed under pressure and did all of the little things that help you win. So proud of them and can't wait to get back out on the field next week to do it all over again."
