Hoyas Split Doubleheader Against Providence

WASHINGTON - The Georgetown University softball team split a doubleheader against the Providence Friars on Thursday afternoon at the Washington Nationals Youth Academy in Washington D.C. In game one, Georgetown defeated Providence 7-0 before falling 7-2 in game two. With a split, the Hoyas move to 10-26 on the season with a 1-17 mark in BIG EAST play while Providence moves to 18-24, 11-10 in conference action.

"It was great to get our first conference win today. Avery pitched lights out, the defense had her back, and the offense never let up. It was fun to see true Hoya Softball." - Head Coach Karla Ross

Game 1 | GU 7, PC 0

Hoya Highlights

  • Avery Wissmar was lights out on the mound. The graduate student went the full seven innings, allowing no runs on four hits, walking two and striking out four.
  • Dayanara Campos was 1-for-3 with a home run, two runs scored and two RBIs.
  • Gabby Park was 2-for-3 with a double and a run scored.
  • Abby Kozo went 2-for-4 with a run scored.
  • Sammy Fenton went 1-for-4 with a double and two RBIs.
  • Hollie Pardini was 1-for-3 with a double, a run scored and an RBI.
  • Nina Sarlo was 1-for-3 with an RBI.
  • Claire Turner was 1-for-3 with a walk, a stolen base, an RBI and a run scored.
  • Brooke Rebhan was 1-for-3 with a walk.

How it Happened

  • After a scoreless top of the first by Wissmar, the Hoyas broke the bats out early. With one out, Turner and Strittmatter each walked and stole a base, setting up second and third for Fenton who belted a two-run double in the left centerfield gap to open up a 2-0 lead.
  • That score would stay the same until the fourth before Georgetown would add to its lead. Campos reached on an error and scored off of a Pardini RBI double to make it 3-0. Two batters later, Sarlo drove in Park with a safety squeeze, scoring Pardini to make it 4-0. A Turner RBI single would score to make it a 5-0 Hoyas lead.
  • After another scoreless frame from Wissmar, the Hoyas would add insurance. With Kozo on first, Campos delivered a towering two-run home run to right field to extend the lead to 7-0.
  • Wissmar would seal the deal with two more scoreless frames to complete the shutout and give the Hoyas their first conference win of the season.

Game 2 | GU 2, PC 7

  • Park was 2-for-3 with a double and an RBI.
  • Kozo was 2-for-3 with two runs scored.
  • Turner went 2-for-4 with a double.
  • Pardini went 1-for-3 with a double and an RBI.

How it Happened

  • Providence got the bats going right out of the gate. The Friars would tally two runs on three hits, giving them an early 2-0 advantage. 
  • Providence would continue to add runs in the top of the second. A leadoff home run extended the lead for PC to 3-0 before they added two runs courtesy of two RBI hits to widen the gap at 5-0.
  • The Hoyas would tack on a run in the bottom of the second off of an RBI double from Park to cut the lead to 5-1.
  • Sage Hager would enter the game for the Hoyas and keep them within striking distance until the sixth, when Providence would add a run off of a double steal, growing the lead to 6-1.
  • Georgetown would retaliate in the bottom of the sixth with an RBI double off of the left centerfield wall by Pardini to get the run right back at 6-2.
  • Providence would add an insurance run courtesy of a solo shot in the top of seventh before putting up a scoreless seventh inning to secure a 7-2 win in the rubber game of the series.

  • In game one's win, all nine Georgetown starters reached base, with eight-of-nine batters recording a hit and six of them scoring.
  • Turner is just one stolen base shy of 40 for her collegiate career, the junior is fourth on the all-time stolen base list.
  • Park and Kozo each recorded multi-hit games in both games of the doubleheader.
