GAME 1 HIGHLIGHTS & HAPPENINGS
  • Southern Arkansas scored early and often taking a quick 7-0 lead over Southeastern Oklahoma through the first three innings of play
  • SAU loaded the bases in the first inning and senior Jill Roye came through in the inning and delivered a two-out base hit to left field that plated the first two runs of the game
  • Senior Megan Godoyo singled immediately after Roye in the frame and plated another run that prompted a 3-0 advantage for SAU in the opening frame
  • The Lady Muleriders engineered another 3-run inning in the second led by a 2-run shot out to left field from Rachel Miller and a solo dinger to right-center field right after off the bat of senior Monica Islava that extended the lead out to 6-0
  • Islava plated another run for SAU in the following inning on a sacrifice fly that scored Sarah Pitre who led-off the inning with a walk and brought the score to 7-0
  • Southeastern was hitless until the third inning, and would not score a run until the bottom of the fifth, where they would cut the deficit to 7-1, and eventually added another run in the next inning to make it 7-2, but the Lady Muleriders continued to chip away plating another run in the top of the seventh and held the Savage Storm to an 8-2 final decision

  • Freshman Sarah Pitre would bring SAU within one in the next inning after she led off with a solo home run to left field, but the Savage Storm again got that run back in the bottom-half that brought the score to 5-3, SOSU
