Softball Swept to Begin Space Coast Games Trip, Drop Matchups to Goldey-Beacom and Ursuline

VIERA, Fla. – Sophomore infielder Angelica Tompkins is riding a four-game on-base streak for Post University Softball to start the 2026 campaign, but after the first day of their trip to the Space Coast Games in Viera, Florida, the Eagles are still in search of their first win of the season, falling to Goldey-Beacom College, 9-1, in five innings, and 7-3 to Ursuline College on Friday.

THE BASICS

Post University 1, Goldey-Beacom College 9 (5 Innings)

Post University 1, Ursuline College 7 

Post University (0-4)


Goldey-Beacom College (6-8)

Ursuline College (8-10)

HOW IT HAPPENED

Game 1: Post University 1, Goldey-Beacom College 9 (5 Innings) 
Freshman right-hander Madison Ore got the win on the mound for Goldey-Beacom, her third of the season, as she spun four innings of four-hit ball, allowing one unearned run while striking out two and walking one. Meanwhile, the Lightning offense would string together 11 hits offensively against sophomore right-hander Meghan McGurk in her five innings of action.

Freshman outfielder Ayri Hansen fell a home run short of the cycle for the Lightning, going 3-for-3 with a single, double, and a triple while driving in two runs and scoring two runs. As a team, Goldey-Beacom had five stolen bases on graduate catcher Sydney Jones, who offensively had a single during her 1-for-2 game and threw out a baserunner.

Post's lone run of the eight-run, five-inning mercy rule came on a fielding error by freshman infielder Jillian Coulburn, allowing sophomore outfielder Isabella Oliver to score as she was 2-for-3 with a double and run scored in the loss. McGurk suffered her first defeat on the mound, allowing nine runs (eight earned) on 11 hits with four walks and a strikeout.

Game 2: Post University 3, Ursuline College 7 
Sophomore pitcher Macy Searles spun a gem for the Arrows to get them their eighth win of the season and her fourth on the mound. Before being lifted after 5 1/3 innings and throwing 68 pitches, Searles allowed just one hit, the first of freshman infielder Haley DiBona's career in the second inning, while striking out 10 batters.

In relief of her, freshman pitcher Olivia Franko closed out the final 1 2/3 innings, allowing three runs (one earned) on two hits with a walk. Junior utility player Allysa Calabrese registered the first run of the game for Post, an RBI double in the sixth inning, while the two other Eagle runs came in the seventh on sophomore outfielder Hannah Searles reaching base on an error. Searles would get thrown out on the base paths in a rundown after two runs crossed the plate to end the game in a 7-3 defeat for Post. 

Sophomore infielder Heidi Earl dealt the big blow during a five-run inning for Ursuline with a bases-clearing triple during her three-RBI game in which she was 1-for-3 with a walk and a run scored. Graduate right-hander Katelyn Lipsky took her second loss of the season on the mound for the Eagles, going five innings, allowing six runs on six hits with three strikeouts and two walks.  

BY THE NUMBERS
  • Despite seeing her three-game hitting streak come to a close in game two, Angelica Tompkins worked a walk, allowing her on-base streak to extend to four consecutive games
  • Haley DiBona picked up her first collegiate hit for Post University with a single against Ursuline College in game two of the day
  • Post University's matchup with Ursuline College was only the third meeting in program history, as the Eagles split a doubleheader with the Arrows during the 2024 season on their spring trip
  • In four games this season, Post University has been outscored 11-4 in the fifth inning of games, allowing five runs twice in that frame, once against Southern Connecticut and once against Ursuline College

WHO'S NEXT
Post University continues its spring break trip tomorrow afternoon with a pair of East Region games as they face Mercy University at 2:30 PM before taking on Southern Connecticut State University in a rematch from last week at 4:45 PM. The Eagles last played the Mavericks back in 2018, getting swept at home by them 13-0 and 5-3, while being swept by the Owls to start the 2026 season, 11-5 and 7-5.
