Softball Defeated by Providence

Providence, R.I.— Merrimack Softball re-entered non-conference play falling to the Providence College Friars by a score of 7-2 on Wednesday afternoon.
 
The Warriors got off to a quick start, with their first two hitters reaching with singles and stealing a base, Courtney Lanpher would score Thiana Brito on a fielder's choice, and Sam Russalesi would score on a Gabby Kaduson sacrifice fly. The Friars would score three runs in the bottom half of the first to go ahead and they would add two more runs on a home run in the second, and they would hit another home run in the sixth, pushing the lead to five, and that would be enough to get the victory.
 
 

• Seven different Warriors notched hits, as Thiana Brito, Sam Russalesi, Courtney Lanpher, Gabby Kaduson, Hannah Scarano, Bailey McDermott and Abby Choquette all had one hit each.
• Brito, Russaesi, and Scarano all had a stolen base each.

 
Up Next: Merrimack resumes conference play on the road against Central Connecticut starting with a doubleheader on Saturday afternoon. Games are scheduled for 1 and 3 PM.
