SVU Falls in Second Round

May 6, 2009

DECATUR, IL. - The SVU “Lady Knights” softball team lost in the second round of the USCAA National tournament to host team Robert Morris College of Springfield, IL by a score of 0-8.

The “Lady Eagles” started off fast with one run in the first, added three more in the third, two in the fourth, and two in the fifth to complete the scoring. The Knights seemed to “sleepwalk” through the game and it was over very quickly.

The tournament is a straight double elimination one and SVU faces elimination in each game they will play from now on. It appears the Knights will play Penn State University (Beaver) in the third round for fourth place and the opportunity to continue advancing in the tournament. SVU beat PSU(B) twice in the regular season. The Knights record is now 19-11.
