The ISU softball team traveled to

Charleston, S.C. this weekend for the College of Charleston Cougar

Classic, ending the round-robin play with a 3-2 record.

On Friday, the Cyclones faced Marist

College, followed by Liberty, in what would be the first game for

both of their opponents.

Freshman pitcher Bree Holliday got

called to the mound to pitch against Marist in the first game. 

Holliday allowed just one run on three hits in four innings of

work.  The Cyclones, meanwhile, manufactured 10 runs on just seven

hits, for a 10-1 victory.

The team did not need much offensive

output in the next game, as pitcher Rachel Zabriskie threw a

shut-out against Liberty, giving up just four hits.

On Saturday, Zabrisie pitched

another strong game against Notre Dame.  Zabriskie allowed just one

run, but still picked up the loss as the Cyclones managed only two

hits on the game and never had a runner advance past second

base.

A 5-2 Cyclones victory over Drexel

was started Saturday night, but was called to a halt after five

innings, as it became too late.  Action was resumed for the final

two innings on Sunday morning but it would not make a difference on

the scoreboard.

A 2-1 loss to the host team, the

Charleston Cougars ended the weekend for the Cyclones, with

Zabriskie picking up the loss.
