    LC Clinches ODAC Title

    LC Softball Clinches Regular-Season ODAC Title with Doubleheader Split at Roanoke :applause:

    SALEM, VA – The Lynchburg College softball team clinched its second consecutive Old Dominion Athletic Conference (ODAC) regular-season crown Monday with a doubleheader split at Roanoke College, taking the first game 5-3 and dropping the second 7-3.

    The Hornets won the opener in eight innings, scoring twice in the top of the eighth on a Roanoke error. Brittany Edelen (Aquasco, MD/St. Mary Ryken) homered and scored twice, while Laura Gonder (Hopatcong, NJ/Hopatcong) also crossed the plate twice. Jen Overstreet (Bedford, VA/Liberty) worked all eight innings for LC, allowing just one unearned run.

    Roanoke (27-9/13-3 ODAC) scored six times in the third inning of the nightcap to blow the game open. Edelen again had two hits, as did Lauren Lancaster (Bent Mountain, VA/Cave Spring) and Caroline Cubbage (Bridgewater, VA/Turner Ashby). Ali Manns (Weaverville, NC/ North Buncombe)pitched 3.2 innings in relief giving up 1 run. (Good job Ali... :xyzthumbs )

    The Hornets (29-8/14-2), ranked sixth in the NCAA Division III Atlantic region, host Ferrum College Wednesday at 5:30 p.m. for a single game. The ODAC Softball Championship Tournament starts Friday at the Moyer Sports Complex in Salem, Virginia.

    Roanoke wins ODAC in a thriller.

    After a first round bye, Lynchburg College had a flat game against Virginia Wesleyan and lost 5-1. LC defeated VW 13-0 and 9-0 in regular season play but VW, just coming off an upset win over Emory & Henry, shut down the powerful LC offense. LC led 1-0 after 5. VW tied it up in the 6th and scored 4 more in the 7th to shock the #1 seed.
    Game 2 went much better for LC with a 13-5 win over #6 seed Eastern Mennonite. Then LC won a 1-0 tough exciting battle with Emory & Henry. LC had runners in scoring position every inning but finally pulled it out with a run in the bottom of the 7th.
    In the losers bracket championship game, Roanoke and LC when back & forth with big hits but Roanoke pulled it out 7-5 to go on to play Virginia Wesleyan in the finals.
    The finals were a heart breaker for VW. VW was up to 2-0, one out away from the championship and Roanoke had nobody on base. Roanoke managed 3 straight infield hits, then a 2 rbi single to left and a 3 run homer. In the 2nd game of the finals, VW went up 3-0 and then lost 4-3.
