Fort Lewis Softball Opens Season in St. George, Utah

ST. GEORGE, Utah – February 5, 2016 – The Fort Lewis College softball team opened the 2016 season Friday morning in St. George, Utah at the Dixie State University Invitational.  The Skyhawks lost their season opener to No. 22 West Texas A&M University in five innings, 9-1.

"It's a tough way to open the season, but we dug ourselves a hole early in the game with errors," said first year head coach Elle Fracker.  "We need to be sharp, especially against quality opponents like West Texas A&M."
 
The Buffs jumped out to a 4-0 lead after the first inning and ran to an 8-0 lead after three innings of work. 
 
Kiley Raica recorded the only hit for the Skyhawks as they were outhit, 7-1.  Raica's hit came in the fourth inning when she tallied a bunt as the leadoff batter.  She advanced to second base after Angelique Elemen was thrown out at first base.  Tristen Gilbert reached base on a fielding error that allowed Raica to score an unearned run.
 
West Texas A&M charted one more run in the bottom of the fourth to seal the win, 9-1.
 
Victoria Johnson started in the circle for the Skyhawks, allowing two earned runs on five hits.  Olivia Goldberg pitched the final 1.1 innings, surrendering one earned run on two hits. 
 
The Skyhawks will face Colorado State-Pueblo on Saturday at 10 a.m., followed by a 3 p.m. game against No. 13 Humboldt State University.
