Brenau Softball DefeatsTruett-McConnell in Conference Opener

Cleveland, GA - The Brenau softball team took little time overcoming Truett-McConnell College in its first conference double-header, 16-2 and 8-0. The Golden Tigers were unstoppable at the plate and continue to charge through their competition with a conference record of 2-0 and overall record of 11-0. Tiffany Schandera went 4-7 with a total of 7 RBIs. Taylor Kelley also had a good night at the plate going 5-8 with 3 RBIs, 2 doubles, and 3 singles. Sally Duggan and Lana Lazar were both 3-3 with Duggan cranking a triple and 2 singles, and Lazar hitting 3 singles.

Additionally, the Bears were unable to get a strand of luck from the Golden Tigers defense as only one error was made in both games. Katie Bolin had several good catches in left field, and Taylor Kelley was outstanding in her plays as shortstop.

"Once again, everyone contributed to the victories in the conference opener," commented Head Coach Devon Thomas. " The offense was paced by Schandera, Lazar and Kelley. Pitching was solid and defense was strong."
