Wesleyan Softball Falls Short in Season Debut

Hardeeville, S.C. - In their first action of the season, the Wesleyan College softball team dropped both games of a doubleheader to USC-Beaufort, 16-0 and 21-1.

Anna Jones, Colleen DeGraff, Katy Trietsch, Hannah Finch, Hannah Jo Hacia, Chrissi Simons, Christina Mayfield and Morgan Cramer all saw their first collegiate action for the Pioneers during the season debut.

After shaking off first game jitters that saw the Pioneers get shut out during the day's opener, Wesleyan improved offensively in the second game.   Sophomore Anna Jones went 1-2 from the plate and scored the team's only run on Tricia Velasco's first inning single. Freshman shortstop Colleen DeGraff also picked up two hits during the game.

Wesleyan has a long lay-off before returning to the diamond at the Lauren Giddings Classic hosted by Agnes Scott College the weekend of March 3-4.
