FERRUM, Va. – The Sweet Briar College softball team (7-11) was bested by the Ferrum Panthers (5-3, 0-0 ODAC) in today's doubleheader by scores of 9-0 and 9-1.

Game Two
Despite going out to an early 1-0 lead after the first, Sweet Briar managed to keep Ferrum off the board for the following three innings. The Panthers broke managed to break through in the fifth though, tallying six runs for the 7-0 lead.
 
A fielder's choice play in the sixth on Wilkerson's at-bat would allow first-year Jasmine Mooney (St. Johnsburg, Vt.) to score the Vixens' lone run of the game.
