COUGARS WIN ONE OF TWO AT SOFTBALL REBEL GAMES

KISSIMMEE, Fla. - The Caldwell College softball team wrapped up play at the Rebel Spring Games on Wednesday, falling to Stonehill College, 5-2 and defeating Adelphi University, 4-2 at the Osceola County Sports Complex. The results give the Cougars a 2-8 record on the season.

In the day's first game, Stonehill scored two runs apiece in the second and third innings to take a 4-0 lead. Caldwell answered in the bottom of the third inning, when sophomore Dia Cascone (Staten Island, NY/Susan Wagner) doubled home sophomore Kelly Schymanski (Pottstown, PA/Owen Roberts), then later scored on a single by freshman Mariah Lucena (Belleville, NJ/Belleville) to make the score 4-2 Skyhawks. But that's all the offense the Cougars would muster, as Stonehill added a run in the fifth for a 5-2 victory.

Cascone and Schymanski each had two hits, while sophomore Kourtney Wilson (Islip, NY/St. Anthony) pitched a complete game, allowing five runs, three earned, on nine hits while striking out three. Katy Abarr went 3-for-4 with two runs and two RBI for Stonehill.

Against Adelphi, Caldwell spotted the Panthers a 2-0 lead before tying the game in the top of the fourth on a two-run double by junior Marisa Tamez (Fountain Valley, CA/Fountain Valley). Then in the fifth, junior Katie Margiotta (Sewell, NJ/Washington Twp.) tripled to plate junior Kelly Ryan (Woonsocket, RI/Mt. St. Charles Acad.), and then came home on an illegal pitch for a 4-2 Caldwell lead. Senior pitcher Brittany Pulido (Ojai, CA/Nordhoff) made the lead stand, allowing one hit among the final nine batters of the game to improve to 2-2.

Margiotta led the offense with two hits, while Pulido, pictured, gave up six hits, and two runs, one earned, while fanning three in seven innings.

Caldwell completes its Florida trip with games against Bentley University and Southern Connecticut State on Thursday, Mar. 17 at the National Training Complex in Clermont, Fla.
