March 02, 2024 | Softball

Game 1 vs. North Alabama

In the top half of the seventh, the Lions would break the scoreless tie on an RBI double to plate the game's only run.
In Army's last chance, they would have runners on the corners but could not capitalize and fall in what was a pitcher's duel by a score of 1-0.
Eaglin's final line was a complete game, 7.0 innings pitched, surrendering just one run on six hits.
Ashton White and Julia Farris were both 2-for-4 at the dish.
North Alabama's Kyleigh Pitzer picked up the win, working a complete game, yielding only six hits, and striking out three.
Game 2 vs. Detroit Mercy
Caitlyn Newburn hammered a two-run home run in the bottom of the first, her third of the season, as Army jumped out to a 2-0 lead.
