Cobleskill, N.Y.: The SUNY Cobleskill women's softball team returned to 2022 North Atlantic Conference (NAC) action on Monday afternoon to close out their season series with the visiting SUNY Polytechnic Institute (SUNY Poly) by dropping a 6-2 decision to the Wildcats at Fighting Tiger Park. With the defeat the Fighting Tigers are now 4-13 overall on the season including a 2-1 record in NAC play while the Wildcats move to 3-10 overall with a 1-2 record to open league action.

The visitors broke the game open in the top of the third inning with five runs three of which came on a home run by junior catcher Maddelyn Hoehn, Oriskany, N.Y., Oriskany High School, from which they never looked back as Wildcat junior right hander Trinity Citelli, Frankfort, N.Y., Frankfort High School, held Cobleskill in check until the seventh inning allowing only one earned run on five hits.

The Fighting Tigers rallied from a 6-0 deficit in the bottom of the seventh to score a pair of runs and had the bases loaded with two outs with their leading hitter sophomore first baseman Alexis Miranda, Nashua, N.H., Nashua High School, in the batter's box. Miranda blasted a hard-hit line drive to center field which was caught to end the contest.

Cobleskill's offense came courtesy of senior right fielder Alyssa Villielm, Rifton, N.Y., Kingston High School, who went 2-for-3 with a walk and an RBI and from senior second baseman Aubrie Marx, Rotterdam, N.Y., Mohanasen High School, who was 1-for-3 with a run scored and an RBI.

The Fighting Tigers, barring weather-related schedule adjustments, are next scheduled to be in action on Monday April 18 when they host the Lakers of SUNY Oswego for a non-conference doubleheader at Fighting Tiger Park beginning at 3:00 p.m.
