CLERMONT, FL -- The Union College softball team posted the first win in the career of new head coach Jordan Stevens with a 6-3 triumph over Wellesley Monday. The Dutchwomen followed that up with an 8-0 triumph over Hope in a five inning game, and Union is now 2-2 on the young season.

In the opener, the Dutchwomen jumped out to a 4-0 lead through three innings. Ginni Sack got the win to even her mark to 1-1, allowing four hits in the complete game triumph. Erika Hillenbrand led the 11 hit attack as she was 3 for 3 at the plate and also scored three runs. Nina Cervini had two hits and two RBIs while freshman Aeriele Noll had three hits and an RBI.

The win over Hope was called after the fifth due to the eight-run rule. Tiffany Ippoliti also evened her pitching record to 1-1 and allowed just three hits in the shutout win. Cervini was 2 for 3 and drove in four of the eight runs, while Ashley Kovack and Diana Polli each had two hits and an RBI for the Dutchwomen.
