Dallas, Pa.: The SUNY Cobleskill women's softball team closed their season opening road trip on Tuesday afternoon by dropping a pair of non-league contests to host Misericordia College by scores of 3-2 and 14-0. With the losses the Fighting Tigers open the season with a 0-4 overall record while the Cougars move to 8-6 on the year to date.

In the first game trailing 1-0 in the top of the fifth inning Cobleskill took the lead when freshman catcher Georgianna Crisci, Walden, N.Y., Valley Central High School, and freshman third baseman Sarah Munn, Athens, Pa., Athens Area High School, reached on errors with Crisci scoring on a single by junior left fielder Easton Murray, Greenwich, N.Y., Greenwich High School, and Munn scoring on a single by sophomore shortstop Angela Fix, Livingston, N.Y., Germantown High School, which made the score 2-1 Fighting Tigers.

However in the bottom of the frame a pair of Cobleskill errors allowed the Cougars to tie the contest at 2-2. Then in the bottom of the six the home team pushed a run across the plate to give Misericordia a 3-2 advantage heading into the seventh.

In the top of the seventh with two outs sophomore second baseman Jaimee Lord, Mechanicville, N.Y., Ballston Spa High School, tripled to right field setting the stage for junior first baseman Jesse DeVoe, Gloversville, N.Y., Gloversville High School, the team's clean-up hitter. However DeVoe grounded out to second base ending the threat and the game.

Once again sophomore hurler Emily Anger, Atlanta, N.Y., Wayland-Cohocton High School, was the hard luck loser after allowing only two-earned runs in six innings of work.

Angela Fix led the Orange & Black offensively going 2-for-4 with a RBI while Jaimee Lord was 2-for-3 with a double and a triple.
In the nightcap the Cougars scored early and often taking a 8-0 lead after three innings and never looking back as Fighting Tiger pitchers surrendered 14 earned runs on 16 hits in the contest.

The Fighting Tigers will next be in action on Saturday April 2^nd when they host the Wolfpack of Keuka College in North Eastern Athletic Conference (NEAC) action beginning at 1:00 p.m.
