DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. -- For the second straight day, sophomore righthander Haleigh Fisher (Smyrna, N.Y.) shined, this time in a starting role as she spun a neat five-hit shutout, stranding the potential tying and go-ahead runs in scoring position, inducing a game-ending popup to short to give the Cougars a 1-0 win over Assumption at ERAU Softball Field in the first of two games on Sunday

In the afternoon contest, Caldwell fell, 10-5, to host Embry-Riddle.

The Cougars (1-5) scored the game one's only run in the top of the first when a grounder by sophomore 3B Lindsay Oller (South Plainfield, N.J.) wasn't handled by the Assumption second baseman, plating junior CF Kenzie Nazionale (Ontario, Calif.), who had reached on an error and stolen second.

Freshman LF Melissa Lugo had two of Caldwell's four hits in the contest.

In the second game of the day, the Cougars again put up first-inning runs, this time Oller's two-run single plating freshman 1B Emerson Jarrard (Carlsbad, Calif.) and sophomore catcher Amanda Preston (Warwick, R.I.). ESAU rallied with three in the bottom half of the frame.

But Caldwell would rally, hanging a three-spot of its own in the fourth, with Preston knocking in a run with an RBI single and a passed ball and wild pitch later bringing in two more for a 5-3 Cougars lead.

The Eagles (10-11) would later score seven in the fifth to take the lead and win their second game over the Cougars in two days.

The Cougars next travel 100 miles southwest to Winter Haven, where they will take on Rollins College in a doubleheader on Monday at 5 p.m.
