VIRGINIA STATE NIPS BOWIE STATE 1-0 IN SOFTBALL SEMIFINALS




(PETERSBURG, Va. – April 20, 2012)  A Jamisha Smith sacrifice fly to left field in the top of the second inning scored Virginia State pinch runner D'Auna Noggin from third to give all the Lady Trojans needed to top Bowie State 1-0 in the CIAA winner's bracket semifinals.  BSU's Lady Bulldogs were held to three hits while the Lady Trojans tallied eight hits.

Endya Bailey went 2-for-3 to pace Virginia State and Jessica Mattia picked up the pitching victory.  Mattia struck out six and snared a line drive back to the pitching circle to close out the bottom of the 7th inning Bowie State threat.

Mariela Hernandez (7-7) took the loss for Bowie State.  Justine Smith, Cara Nance and Amanda Ray recorded one hit each in the setback. 

The Lady Bulldogs will face the Lady Rams of Winston-Salem State at 5:30 pm today.  WSSU’s Lady Rams won a 13 inning loser’s bracket marathon, defeating Chowan 4-3.
