The Webster University women's softball team salvaged a double-header split at Eureka College (IL) on April 10, behind pitcher Ashley Meagher's (FR, Dupo HS, IL) complete-game victory.  The Gorloks downed the Red Devils, 10-2, in game two after dropping a 6-5 decision in the opener, and are tied for first place in the St. Louis Intercollegiate Athletic Conference.

In game two, Meagher allowed one run on six hits, with five strikeouts, while improving to 5-0 in her freshman season. Jessica Arcangel (FR, St. Lucy's Priory, CA) was three for three with two runs scored and two RBIs. Erynn Coit (JR, Forsyth Maroa HS, IL) was two for three with two runs scored and three RBIs and Megan Sperry (SR, Clarkston HS, MI) was three for four with one run and one RBI.

Sperry started the opener and lasted four innings. A four-run fourth inning by Eureka gave them a 5-1 lead, but the Gorloks came back in the top of the 5th with four runs of their own to tie the game. Webster strung five straight hits together, but a lost a run at the plate that wound up costing them. Lexie Moore (SR, Champaign Central HS, IL) relieved Sperry and allowed one unearned run, on a passed ball, that turned out to be the winner for the Red Devils.

Arcangel had the big hit in the Gorok 5th, driving in two. Sperry was three for four at the plate, winding up six for eight on the day. Ashley Bolton (JR, Knob Noster HS, MO) was two for three.

Webster is 5-1 in the SLIAC and 12-10 overall.  The Gorloks continue play in the SLIAC on April 14 vs. Westminster College at home. This will be Webster's first games at Blackburn Park in three weeks, where 10 of its final 12 games will be played.
