Hornet Softball Team Defeats Marlins 4-1 to Win ODAC Title
Dara Sandifer Tabbed as Most Valuable Player

            SALEM, VA – The Lynchburg College softball team took an early lead and held on Sunday to defeat Virginia Wesleyan College 4-1 in the championship game of the 2008 Old Dominion Athletic Conference (ODAC) Tournament. It is the second-straight title for LC and the program’s fifth overall, and gives the Hornets the conference’s automatic berth into the NCAA Division III Tournament.

            Brittany Allsop (Milford, CT/Jonathan Law) led off the top of the first with a single, and advanced to third on a single from Elizabeth Perkins (Kents Store, VA/Fluvanna County). Tara Campbell (Leesburg, VA/Loudon County) and Dara Sandifer (Monroe, VA/Holy Cross) followed with RBI singles to give LC an early 2-0 edge. The Hornets pushed across a single run in the third, with Audra Della Rosa (Rumford, RI/St. Mary Academy Bay View) scoring on a fielder’s choice. Virginia Wesleyan got on the board in the bottom of the sixth, when Ally Eates drove home the Marlins first run with a double to the gap. LC answered back with an insurance run in the top of the seventh, when Della Rosa drove home Lauren Duguay (Williamsburg, VA/Jamestown, VA) with a two-out hit.

            Junior Barbie Miles (Kinsale, VA/Washington & Lee) got the start on the hill and worked four scoreless frames, twice escaping from bases-loaded jams for the win. Katie Bruce (Lanexa, VA/Lafayette, VA) picked up the save, going three innings out of the pen. Sandifer and Perkins each had two hits for Lynchburg, and Campbell finished with two RBI. Betty Stewart was 2-2 for Virginia Wesleyan (29-12).

            Sandifer was named the Tournament’s Most Valuable Player, and Kirstin Swank (Bear, DE/Caravel Academy), Campbell, Duguay and Della Rosa were all named to the all-tournament team.  The Hornets are now 36-5 and await the release of the NCAA tourmament bracket.
