Seahawks Split with Barry

The Northwood softball team traveled down to Miami Gardens yesterday to take on the D2 defending national champions from Barry University.  The Lady Seahawks came out hard and was not intimidated at all.  They jumped on the Bucs in the first inning 2-0 and just kept rolling from there.  They held on to with the first game 5-3 despite giving us a solo homerun.  They played well in the second game as well but Barry was able to hang on to win 4-2.  The Seahawks will keep this momentum going to the weekend.  They will play their final conference series against St. Thomas at home.  The first game will be Friday night a 5 followed by two games on 12 and 2.  They must win at least 1 of 3 to make it to the conference playoffs.

The Lady Seahawks were on their game this past weekend.  They opened up friday night with a bang defeating the Webber Warriors 6-3 in the series opener.  They continued with this momentum on Saturday and defeated Webber in the first game 4-3.  It was a great game and showed a huge team effort as the Lady Seahawks came back in the bottom of the 7th inning to win it.  They kept the momentum going to the third game but were unable to come away with the win as the Warriors came out on top 4-3.  With these big wins the Seahawks should make it to the conference playoffs which are held in Bartow, FL.
