Eagles Drop Both In NTC Finale

Post suffers losses to Notre Dame (Ohio) and Ashland



CLERMONT, Fla. - The Post University softball team suffered two losses in the final day of the NTC Spring Games on Thursday, March 5. The Eagles were defeated by Notre Dame College (Ohio) 3-1 and by Ashland University 4-0. 

Game One - Notre Dame (Ohio) 3, Post 1
Sophomore Karoline Prevost (Fall River, Mass.) started on the bump for the Eagles and allowed three earned runs on five hits over three complete innings. First-year Emily Schaffer (Hazlet, N.J.) pitched four strong relief innings and kept Notre Dame off the scoreboard. 

Junior Kayla Kresley (Alburtis, Pa.) knocked a double to left field to open the second inning. First-year Nicole Venturini (Scituate, R.I.) followed with a single to left to advance Kresley to third with one out, but the Eagles were doubled-up on a fly to right field to end the inning.

Notre Dame did its damage in the top-half of the third, scoring three runs on four hits, one of which a two-run home run by Kelsey Coleman (Suffield, Ohio). Post pushed one across when Schaffer crushed a solo-shot over the center field fence to start the bottom-half of the fourth. Venturini collected two of the five Eagle hits in the game when she reached on another single up the middle. The Eagles would leave two stranded in the inning.

Schaffer worked herself in and out of a bases-load jam in the sixth inning, but the Eagles could not find an answer to Notre Dame's Ashley Hall (North Canton, Ohio) who closed the door in relief. Notre Dame's Ashley Pokraka (Whting, Ind.) was credited as the winning pitcher (1-2) and Prevost was credited with the loss (0-2). Notre Dame improves to 2-5 on the season. 

Game Two - Ashland 4, Post 0
Senior Kaitlin Derby's (Douglaston, N.Y.) stuff was electric from the circle in the second game of the doubleheader. Derby tossed 4.2 innings and allowed just two runs over seven hits. Junior Samantha Esque (Springfield, Pa.) came on in relief and gave up two unearned runs in 1.1 innings of work.
 
Ashland jumped on the board early with a RBI sacrifice fly in the bottom-half of the first. Derby settled down and pitched three more innings of scoreless ball. Ashland came through with three timely singles to score three more in the fifth and sixth innings.

The Eagles scattered three singles and three walks over the game. In addition, Ashland committed four errors but Post could not cash in, leaving eight runners on base. Ashland's Mckenna Galloway (Brunswick, Ohio) was credited the winning pitcher (1-0) and Derby the loss (1-3). Ashland improves to 7-1 and Post drops to 2-8 thus far on the season. 

On Deck: The Eagles fly home for a week of practice and then travel to Garden City, N.Y. to face Adelphi University in a non-conference doubleheader on March 12. First-pitch is scheduled for 2 p.m.
