Softball Takes On Owls and Hatters This Week

BUIES CREEK, N.C. – The Campbell softball team (25-11, 10-4 Atlantic Sun), after a busy week that saw the Camels play eight games in six days, gets back to a normal schedule and will play four games this week. The Camels start the week with a make-up doubleheader against Kennesaw State starting at 4 p.m. on Tuesday. CU will then welcome in Stetson for a conference slate starting at noon on Saturday.

Junior Robin Leathers led Campbell to five wins last week with her six home runs, 13 hits and 13 runs scored. Leathers has now hit 13 home runs this season to tie for the team lead and allow her along with senior Karlie Love to become only the fourth and fifth Campbell player ever to reach double figures in home runs in a season. They, along with Courtney Quinn (20) and Amanda Littlejohn (15) in 2008, are only the second set of teammates to accomplish the feat. For her outstanding week Leathers was named the Atlantic Sun's Player of the Week. She became the third Campbell player to be named the conference's player of the week this season. Sophomore closer Katie Woodcock continued to shine and picked up two more saves last week. Woodcock has now earned a nation leading six saves on the year. Junior Brittany Stanley also pitched well last week in winning three games with 21 strikeouts in her 24.2 innings of work.

Kennesaw State (15-16, 2-4 Atlantic Sun) swept Stetson over the weekend but then dropped a pair to Florida Gulf Coast. Redshirt junior Klair Wells leads the Owls with a .318 batting average to go along with 34 hits, three home runs and 10 RBIs. Fellow junior Jenny Closner has been the team's best RBI threat with 21 runs batted in. Freshman April Harper leads the team with six wins and 13 games started. The Owls are in a stretch of playing 10 games in an eight day period of time.

Stetson (20-20, 3-7 Atlantic Sun) has lost six in a row and seven of their last eight games including getting swept over the weekend by Mercer and Kennesaw State. Junior Amy Joyce leads the team with her .303 batting average, 24 runs scored and 37 hits. Senior Andrea Migliori is among the conference leaders with her nine home runs and also has contributed 23 RBIs. The pitching staff is led by senior Erica Demers, who is 9-10 with 1.34 ERA and 17 complete games. Junior Amanda Lindsey has also pitched well with 10 wins and 153 strikeouts in her 129.2 innings pitched.

The Camels travel to take on South Carolina State in a doubleheader early next week (4/14) before coming home to take on conference leader Florida Gulf Coast (4/18) in a double dip starting at noon.
