Softball Falls to Averett in Game One of ODAC Tourney

Hornets Play Randolph-Macon Tomorrow

SALEM, Va. - In the first game of the 2026 ODAC Tournament, the No. 2 seed Shenandoah University softball team was defeated 4-0 by the No. 7 seed Averett University at the Moyer Sports Complex on Friday evening.

The Hornets (29-10) were held to three hits in the game and were shutout for the second time this season by the Cougars (25-16). Shenandoah now must win tomorrow twice to stay alive in the double-elimination pod.

RECAP

Neither team had a hit through the first two innings, with Paige Eagleton serving as the only baserunner during that span. Averett loaded the bases in the top of the third, but Gracie Ravenkamp (13-4) got the next two batters out to retire the Cougars.

Allison McQueeney had the first hit of the game for the Hornets but was unable to score in the third. Averett loaded the bases in the fourth and scored three runs for the 3-0 lead. Then in the fifth, they added another run to claim the 4-0 advantage.

Back-to-back singles by Eagleton and Makayla Cox to leadoff the fourth were the final hits SU picked up on Friday. McQueeney was the last baserunner of the evening for SU with a walk in the fifth.

Ravenkamp went the first four innings in the circle for the Hornets, while Meghan Gaskins pitched the final three and gave up zero runs and struckout three.
