BRIGHTON, Mass. – Former Hazen Union standout Sarah Collier helped lead the VTSU-Lyndon softball team to a double-header sweep over Fisher College last week in their season opener.
The Lady Hornets outscored Fisher 67-4 in the road twin bill sweep on Saturday night, while Sunday’s scheduled doubleheader was postponed due to inclement weather. Riley McNamara led Lyndon in game-one with a 5-6 performance at the plate that included a homer, a double and seven RBIs. She also earned the victory in the circle, scattering three hits over five innings, striking out eight.
Collier led the way in the nightcap with a 3-3 performance at the plate, driving in four runs with a homer, while scoring four times. The former Lady Cat is in her junior campaign for VTSU-Lyndon. McNamara earned her second win of the day in the circle, recording eight more strikeouts over five innings of work.
Collier and the Lady Hornets are scheduled to be back in action this weekend with doubleheaders against UMaine Presque Isle on Saturday and Husson University on Sunday. Their home opener is scheduled for April 18 against VTSU-Johnson.
