Last Team Standing: Le Moyne Wins NE-10 Softball Championship


South Easton, Mass. – Le Moyne College claimed its second-straight Northeast-10 Championship after defeating Southern Connecticut State University 3-0 Sunday afternoon.

The Northeast-10 Player of the Year Jennifer Farrelly (Latham, N.Y.) pitched a complete game shutout to earn her 17th victory of the year to lead Le Moyne past Southern Connecticut. Farrelly struck out seven batters and scattered seven hits in the victory.

Le Moyne took the games first lead in the third inning when junior Kelly Schweikert (Rochester, Mass.) drove in the first run of the game with an RBI single. Schweikert, the championships most outstanding player, finished 2-for-4 at the plate. Later in the inning, freshman Barbara Shea (Clifton, Park, N.Y.) added an RBI single as well to increase the lead to 2-0.

The Dolphins would add an insurance run in their half of the seventh off a solo homerun from Leah Ford (Pulaski, N.Y.) to take a 3-0 lead. In the bottom half of the seventh, Farrelly retired the first two hitters before Southern Connecticut loaded the bases with the potential winning run at the plate. Despite the threat, Farrelly and the Dolphins were able to retire the final batter and secure the 3-0 victory.

Southern Connecticut Christina Wolfe (Newtown, Conn.) was 2-for-3 at the plate, while Megan Caporossi (Northfield, Conn.) and Julianne Flood (Poughquag, N.Y.) combined for four hits.

Joining Schweikert on the All-Championship team were teammates Jenna Vanacore (Hicksville, N.Y.) and Kelcie Cashel (Lacona, N.Y.). Southern Connecticut’s Jayme Larson (Aurora, Colo.), who pitched a complete-game shutout versus New Haven earlier in the day, and Kerry Iacomini (Pleasant Valley, N.Y.) were also named to the All-Championship team.

The rest of the All-Championship team includes American International’s DeAnna Zanetti, Assumption’s Marissa Palumbo, Merrimack’s Jill Gagnon, New Haven’s Nicole Downs, Pace’s Christina Pane and Southern New Hampshire’s Kelsey Griffin.

With 15 member institutions the Northeast-10 is the second largest NCAA Division II athletic conference in the nation. Its 23 championship sports provide athletic opportunities for over 5,500 student-athletes, the largest such program of any Division II conference.
