Post University Softball faced a challenging start to their homestand, being swept by St. Thomas Aquinas College in a doubleheader. Despite scoring three runs in the first inning of game one, the Eagles fell 11-3 in five innings and lost 4-0 in game two. This marks the first time since 2006 that Post has been swept in a doubleheader by the Spartans. Post's record now stands at 5-20, as solid pitching and defense from St. Thomas Aquinas silenced the Eagles' offense.

  • Angelica Tompkins finished the doubleheader 3-for-5, raising her batting average to .485, the highest in Division II history at Post.
  • Emma Grace Popp struck out 12 batters and allowed only three hits in game two, improving her record to 8-1.
Yes, But

The Eagles struggled offensively after their strong start in game one, being shut out for the next 11 innings, raising concerns about consistency at the plate.

State of Play
