Mar. 10, 2005
KISSIMMEE, Florida – The Marietta College softball team continues to struggle against some of the nation's top competition down at the Rebel Spring Games in Kissimmee, Florida. The Lady Pioneers (1-7) were shutout twice this morning (Mar. 10), falling 10-0 to Coe (IA) and 2-0 to the College of New Jersey.

Coach Jeanne Arbuckle's squad managed just one hit, a pinch-hit single by sophomore Kelly Rucker (Rocky River) in the fourth inning.

Junior Amie Weis (Burlington, WI/Westosha Central) allowed 10 runs (four earned) on six hits through five innings, before the game was called due to Coe's 10-run advantage. Weis is now 0-4 on the season.

In game two against the College of New Jersey, Marietta's offense produced seven hits, but could not plate a run, falling 2-0. Senior Katie Moriarty (North Canton/Hoover) went 2-for-3 in the loss.

Sophomore Kristen Quintana (Denver, CO/Littleton) took the loss, falling to 1-3 on the spring. She allowed two runs on six hits over six innings. Both runs came in the second innings, when TCNJ strung together three hits.

The Lady Pioneers will close out their spring break trip Friday (Mar. 11) when they take on Indiana Wesleyan at 8:50 a.m. and Penn State-Behrend at 12:30 p.m.
