The Colonels (19-9) put a total of eight runs on the
scoreboard over the first two innings to take an 8-0 lead
that the Lady Jaguars (8-26) never recovered from. Nicholls
added another run to the board in the top of the fifth
inning to increase their lead to nine. SU managed two runs
in bottom of the fifth to avoid the eight run rule but was
unable to create any more offense leaving five Jaguars on
base.
Juniors Jasmine Tillman, Victoria Stewart and red-shirt
sophomore Kasha Tauriac were the only members in the Blue
and Gold with hits. Tillman and senior April Augustine
recorded the runs while sophomore Audrey Phillips posted an
RBI. Freshman pitcher Joei Glynn picked up the lost for the
SU pitching staff. Sophomore Caroline Myers struck out three
but gave up six hits in relief for Glynn.
