Chattanooga, TN – Wofford Softball split the opening games with Chattanooga, dropping game one 1-2 before bouncing back with a 3-1 win in game two that ended the Mocs' bid for SoCon perfection.

GAME 1
Despite taking the 2-1 loss, Wofford held the Mocs to their fewest runs in a game since February 25, 2024, when Chattanooga was shut out by UT-Martin at the Frost Classic. Starting pitcher Abby Greenwood was at the center of that defensive success- throwing her seventh complete game in eleven starts. The freshman right-hander surrendered the two runs on seven hits while striking out three Mocs and walking none. Her three punchouts today matches the total number of strikeouts she tallied in her last three appearances combined. Greenwood does fall to 5-10 on the season, but of those ten losses, five of them have come when she gives up two or fewer runs and five of them also came in games decided by one run.

Offensively Wofford put the tying runs on base in the seventh inning and brought one of them home when Abby Gossett, pinch hitting for Megan Towery, hit a sacrifice fly that scored Desirae Devine (pinch running for Hope Ingle). However, the Terriers very next batter would strike out, which stranded the tying run at second and secured the Chattanooga win.

Game 2
Margaret Axelson spun her first complete game since Wofford's second game of the season as she also fanned a season high seven Mocs and worked around seven Chattanooga hits to clinch the Terriers' third conference win of the year.

In addition to setting her own season high, Axelson's seven strikeouts are the most by any Terrier in a single game this season and matches Wofford's collective team high this season (set on March 15, in the series opener against Charleston Southern).

On the offensive side Hope Ingle put Wofford on the board in the second inning with a two-run RBI single that also earned Ingle her team-leading fifth multi-RBI game of the season. 16 RBIs thus far also puts Ingle five ahead of Megan Towery for most on the team. An Abby Campbell RBI single in the fourth inning concluded Wofford's scoring for the contest.

Gracie Parker, by virtue of reaching via the walk in game one and a base hit in game two, extended her on-base streak to 11 straight games, giving her the longest active streak on the team and the third Terrier to reach in ten or more consecutive games.

Up Next
Wofford goes for its first SoCon series win in tomorrow, April 7th's, game against Chattanooga. So far this season the Terriers are 2-0 in SoCon series finales, as is Chattanooga, but a Wofford win would hand the Mocs their first series loss since getting swept by Samford in the regular season finale last season. First pitch is scheduled for 2 PM on ESPN+.
