Softball Falls to Methodist

FAYETTEVILLE, N.C. – The Sweet Briar College softball team (0-4) faced another tough test today with a doubleheader against the Methodist Monarchs (2-2, 0-0 USA South). Sweet Briar found success at the plate, scoring a total of three runs through both games, but ultimately fell to the Monarchs by scores of 11-2 and 9-1.
