Softball: The Goldey-Beacom College softball team went 3-2 in the Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference tournament last week, defeating Post University, Wilmington College and Felician College and losing twice to eventual champion Caldwell College.

Freshman Megan Harper (Acto, NJ) and senior Holly Kimble (Millsboro, DE) both scored unearned runs to help defeat Post University in the tournament opener before freshman Kendra Russell (New Castle, DE) ? who picked up the win against the Eagles ? allowed seven runs in 3.0 IP in the first loss to Caldwell later that afternoon.

Against Wilmington, Russell, Kimble and senior Tiffany Frick (Pennsauken, NJ) each drove in two runs to down the Wildcats while Harper had two RBI against Felician. Russell picked up the win in each contest to improve to 18-8 on the season.

With both teams facing elimination, Goldey-Beacom and Caldwell produced a classic that ended when Anna Dahl led off the bottom of the 12th inning with a walk-off home run. Russell tossed 11 innings for the Lightning, scattering eight hits and allowing two runs while striking out four. She also drove in the lone Lightning run with an RBI single to score senior Devon O?Brien (Wilmington, DE) in the top of the eighth inning.

The Lightning finished the 2005 season 27-18 with a 12-8 mark in conference play.
