KISSIMMEE, FL -- The Washington College softball team split its first two games at the Rebel Spring Games in Kissimmee, FL, today. The Shorewomen (1-5) pounded Massachusetts College of Liberal Arts, 16-0, in five innings in their first game of the day before falling to Penn State Behrend, 3-1, in their second game.

Against MCLA, Washington scored nine runs in the first inning and pounded out 18 hits in 32 at bats. Junior Kim Proctor (Ferndale, MD/Institute of Notre Dame) was 3-for-4 at the plate with two doubles, three RBI, and two runs scored, while sophomore Meghan Luterzo (Hasbrouck Heights, NJ/St. Mary's) went 3-for-3 with two runs scored and two RBI. Senior Beth Anne Hartman (Ellicott City, MD/Baltimore Lutheran) was 3-for-4 with a double, two runs scored, and two RBI, while junior Meg Travers (Huntingtown, MD/Calvert) went 2-for-3 with a double, two RBI, and a run scored and junior Amanda Campbell (Boothwyn, PA/Garnet Valley) had a single, a double, a run scored, and an RBI.

Freshman Jasmine Queen (Churchton, MD/Southern) added a pinch-hit triple and a run scored. Washington freshman Caitlin McElroy (Bricktown, NJ/Brick Township) hurled a five-inning two-hitter for the Shorewomen against MCLA, striking out two batters and walking two.
