Softball Shut Out for Second and Third Consecutive Games, Swept by Jefferson

PHILADELPHIA, Penn. -- Senior third baseman Nyla Sapia and freshman utility player Angelica Tompkins each tallied two hits for Post University Softball in its doubleheader on Thursday afternoon against Jefferson University, but for the second and third straight games, the Eagles would be shut out, 8-0 and 12-0. Already on the brink of elimination, the losses officially eliminated Post from making the Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference Tournament for the third consecutive year. 

THE BASICS

Post University 0, Jefferson University 8 (6 Innings)

Post University 0, Jefferson University 12 (5 Innings)

Post University (4-32, 2-16 CACC)

Jefferson University (11-23, 10-8 CACC)

HOW IT HAPPENED
Freshmen right-handers Devin Brandley and Delaney Alix combined to throw 11 total innings of shutout ball for the Rams, holding the Eagles to just six hits on the afternoon. Alix's start in game one saw her allow two hits and record 10 strikeouts without walking a batter, while Brandley had a walk and a strikeout to go along with her four hits allowed in game two. Sapia and Tompkins were the only two Post players to have two total hits between the two games, as all six hits by the Eagles were singles.

The second hit of the day for Tompkins, which came in the fourth inning of game two, also coincided with Post's lone baserunner to reach scoring position after Sapia had led off the frame with a single off of Brandley. Defensively, the Eagles finished the doubleheader having committed six total errors, three in each game, making it four consecutive games in which they have had three-plus errors after coming off four of their previous six games without committing one. 

Jefferson's offense was primarily led by senior infielder Bridget Shields, who went 5-for-7 overall with a double, two RBIs, and three runs scored. But despite having 23 hits, the Rams only had six extra-base hits, with four of those plating a total of six runs compared to 10 singles leading to eight runs on an afternoon where their offense generated 20 total runs. 

Losing 8-0 and 12-0, this was the first time that Post was held scoreless in both games of a doubleheader against Jefferson in the all-time series, which the Eagles own by a 23-14 margin despite losing the last six matchups. 

BY THE NUMBERS
  • Nyla Sapia and Angelica Tompkins each led Post University with two hits apiece across the doubleheader today 
  • Coming off a stretch in which they had 10-plus hits and five-plus in three straight games, the Post University offense has been held to 13 combined hits over its last three games and no runs 
  • This is the second time this year in which Post University has been shut out in three straight games -- The Eagles were shut out against Saint Anselm College, Franklin Pierce University, and Southern Connecticut State University in Florida in back-to-back-to-back games
  • For the third consecutive season, Post University has officially been eliminated from CACC Tournament contention -- This is the most consecutive years in program history in which the Eagles have missed the postseason tournament 

WHO'S NEXT
Closing out their fourth straight day of games, Post University finishes their Philadelphia trip with a doubleheader against Goldey-Beacom College tomorrow morning starting at 11:00 AM. The Eagles were swept last season by the Lightning at home, 13-4 in five innings and then 6-4 in game two back on March 29th, 2024. Despite losing five of its last six against Goldey-Beacom, Post still holds an overwhelming 32-13 record in the all-time series.
