Houghton Drops Two In Season Opener

HOUGHTON, N.Y. – Houghton College Softball dropped two games in it's first appearance this season to the D'Youville College Saints. The Highlanders (0-2) narrowly fell to D'Youville (2-0), 2-1, in the first game before the Saints took the second, 8-3.

Game 1:
Houghton 1, D'Youville 2
The bats were quiet for both teams until the fourth inning when D'Youville got on the board with two runs off three hits. Houghton answered straight back with a Caitlyn Cybart double to put herself in scoring position. Cybart put the Highlanders on the board by taking advantage of a Saint error. Grace Thompson reached first on the same error, however, the Highlanders stranded her there after three straight outs.

Game 1 Notes
  • Five different Highlanders produced hits in the season opener, however they left eight on base throughout the game.
  • Cybart led the way with a 3-for-4 performance at the plate and tallying Houghton's lone run.
  • Hannah Haskell put up a double while also drawing a walk.
  • On the mound, Kayla Loomis (0-1) went all seven, giving up seven hits and two runs while striking out two.
 
Game 2:
Houghton 3, D'Youville 8
After the Saints opened the second game with a run, the Highlanders struggled to get home as they left one on base in the first two innings. D'Youville tacked on insurance runs in the third and fifth to give them a 6-0 lead.

Houghton started chipping away at the Saint's lead in the bottom of the fifth after a Cybart double brought home Haskell and Lydia Peterson to get them within four. Cybart was ultimately stranded at second with a fly out to center.

The Highlanders were able to tack another run in the sixth, but couldn't shake off D'Youville's 10 hit performance in the second matchup.

Game 2 Notes:
  • Haskell was a force at the plate, going 3-for-4 with a double and an RBI.
  • Cybart once again showed up for the Highlanders with her second double of the day and producing two RBIs.
  • Hannah Cybart also had a multi-hit game producing two to go along with a run.
  • Peterson also came across the plate for Houghton while tacking on a walk to her stat line.
  • Grace Thompson and Elise Swanson each added a hit to the Highlander's nine for the game.
 
The Highlanders return to action Wednesday, March 24th when they take a short trip up to Buffalo to face off against Buffalo State. First pitch is slated for 3 p.m.
