Providence, R.I. - The Providence College softball team defeated the Hartford Hawks, 6-0, on Thursday, March 31. With the win, the Friars improve to 13-17 overall and 1-2 in the BIG EAST. Hartford falls to 3-15 overall and 0-3 in the America East.
Sophomore Jen Abrams (Reading, Mass.) led off the game with a double to right-center field. Three batters later, sophomore Jessie Bryant (Marlborough, Mass.) drove in Abrams with a single to right field to give the Friars a 1-0 lead.
In the third inning, Providence extended its lead to 3-0 after sophomore Stephanie Kiesel (Ramona, Calif.) walked in a run and freshman Corinne Rubright (Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio) registered an RBI single. The Friars added two more runs in next inning when freshman Morgan Culver (Seaford, Del.) doubled to left-center field to score Bryant and senior Justine Stratton (Fresno, Calif.).
In the fifth inning, the Friars added another insurance run with back-to-back doubles by junior Michelle Huber (Dana Point, Calif.) and Stratton. It gave Providence a 6-0 lead, the eventual final score.
