Wesleyan Softball to Compete in Lauren Giddings Memorial Tournament

Macon, Ga. - The Wesleyan College softball team will compete this weekend in the Lauren Giddings Memorial Tournament hosted by Agnes Scott College at Oakhurst Field in Decatur.

The tournament is being held in honor of Agnes Scott alumna Lauren Giddings, who was slain in Macon this past June.  Giddings was a four year letter winner for the Scotties softball team and graduated from the college in 2006.  She then moved to Macon, where she had recently graduated from Mercer University's School of Law before her life was tragically cut short last summer.

The Pioneers will open the tournament on Saturday morning at 10:00am against Great South rival Spelman College.  The remainder of their game times and opponents will be determined based on a double elimination tournament format.  Other schools competing in the event are Sewanee, Brenau and host Agnes Scott.
