Softball Sweeps Roger Williams In Home Twin Bill, 7-1 & 3-0

BEVERLY, Mass. – The Endicott softball team took two conference games from Roger Williams, 7-1 and 3-0, on Saturday evening at the Softball Complex.

GAME ONE: Endicott 7, Roger Williams 1

WP (8-3): Maria Hanchuk (South Windsor, Conn.) – 6 IP, 7 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 2 BB, 6 K
LP (7-11): Raegen Germano (Old Tappan, N.J.) – 5 2/3 IP, 6 H, 7 R, 4 ER, 6 BB, 5 K

Endicott scored in every inning but the third to secure the game one victory.

Christina Nowicki (Chelsea, Mass.) highlighted the offense with a two-run triple to left center in the fifth that all but put the game out of reach (5-1, at the time).

Raven Comtois (Milford, N.H.), Chloe Shapleigh (Lynnfield, Mass.), and Julianna Roche (North Andover, Mass.) also drove in runs for the Gulls.

GAME TWO: Endicott 3, Roger Williams 0

WP (9-3): Jaylin Couto (Taunton, Mass.) – 7 IP, 5 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 1 K
LP (1-3): Taylor Myers (East Haven, Conn.) – 3 2/3 IP, 7 H, 3 R, 3 ER, 0 BB, 1 K

Couto extended her scoreless innings streak to 16 frames with her second straight complete-game shutout (fifth career).

Meanwhile, Comtois provided all the offense the Gulls needed – thanks to Couto's masterful work in the circle – with a solo homer to left center in the third inning.

Emma Hogan (Tyngsborough, Mass.) also plated Lindsay Joubert (Haverhill, Mass.) with a triple down the right field line in the fourth before Nowicki knocked in Hogan from third with an infield single to cap the scoring.
