FT. PIERCE, FL -- The Washington College softball team got its 2003 season off to a good start this evening, sweeping Husson College, 9-1 and 12-2, in a nighttime double-header in Ft. Pierce, FL. Freshmen Laura Mozzer (Tolland, CT/Tolland) and Diane Green (Milford, DE/Milford) turned in fine performances in their collegiate debuts.

Junior Renee Springston (Pasadena, MD/Northeast) was two-for-four with an RBI and a run scored.

In game two, junior Fallon Dillon (Grasonville, MD/Queen Anne's County) picked up the win, allowing a pair of first-inning runs and then shutting down Husson the rest of the way.

Senior Julie Bahus (Baltimore, MD/Archbishop Spalding) was two-for-two with two RBI and a run scored.
