"We had a great first game win. Sarah pitched extremely well, throwing a shutout is hard to do and she was about to do it under pressure in the late innings," said William Woods head coach
Tracy Gastineau, "it was a great start to her college career in the circle."
"Our defense was a little shaky in game two and that combined with some hits proved to be too much for us. I am hoping that tomorrow we have more consistent and quality at-bats. But all in all, it is great to be outside on dirt and hoping to build on today's successes and failures for our games tomorrow and Saturday."
