__Wesleyan vs. GACS (8/13/09) 12-0 Wesleyan Falls Short on Their First Outing__ Unfortunately, the Wolves showed up with a bit of first game nerves. We had an impressive showing of pitching by Isabella Mateu. The GACS girls did not get a hit beyond the infield. Emily Farrow did a great job behind the plate and provided the Wolves with the first hit of the season. The most memorable moment on the field was when Kristen Solomon caught a screaming line drive down third base and later a pop up to end the inning. We have great talent out on the field and are looking forward to our Wolf power!

The girls had a hitting extravaganza, and they showed their positive spirit throughout the game. This group of girls is what a team is all about… Not only did they work hard in the field talking to their teammates, but the dugout was full of enthusiasm throughout the game lead by Ali Godwin. Isabella was back with her great pitching for the Wolves after an ankle injury, and Marie took over the mound with outstanding pitches. Riley finished up the game and threw many strikes against Lovett. Emily Farrow had some powerful hits last night, and Sydney Stone was tough in the outfield. Kristen Solomon was extremely solid at third base. Meredith DiStasi and Madeline Day had the crowd cheering with their hard hits and extra bases. The girls’ hitting was extraordinary and defensively they did a great job. The game could have gone either way, but in the end Lovett barely survived. Go Wolves! Great game!
