Softball begins conference play with two wins at Albany

ALBANY, N.Y. - The Stony Brook softball team kicked off conference play with a pair of wins at Albany on Sunday afternoon. The Seawolves took Game 1, 5-2, then completed a comeback victory in Game 2, winning 7-5.
 
Irene Rivera (Sylmar, Calif.) paced Stony Brook offensively, recording six RBI's in total. Melissa Rahrich (Brighton, Colo.) chipped in with four hits of her own at the plate, driving in four and scoring three times. Chelsea Evans (Merced, Calif.) had a hit and two runs in both games.
 
Quoting Head Coach Megan T. Bryant
"We earned two hard-fought wins today. We had our best offensive approach of the season, played solid defensively, and Mel [Rahrich] was outstanding in the circle. Irene [Rivera] had a terrific day at and behind the plate. It's a good day to start the AE season, and a day we can certainly build from."
 
Game 1 Notes: Stony Brook 5, Albany 2
  • Irene Rivera (Sylmar, Calif.) went 1-for-2 with 4 RBI's and a run scored. The sophomore catcher blasted a three-run home run - her second of the season - to deep left field in the third inning.
  • Melissa Rahrich (Brighton, Colo.) singled up the middle in the top of the seventh to drive in the Seawolves' fifth and final run. She also threw a complete-game victory in the circle. In 7.0 innings, the freshman allowed just six hits and two runs to go along with six strikeouts.
