Friends University Falcon softball made history Saturday as they defeated Park University 1-0 to win the NAIA Region IV Championship Tournament. 

After five and a half scoreless innings, a RBI by Falcon shortstop Megan VinZant resulted in the first and only run scored throughout the game. The Falcons had a total of seven hits with third baseman Annie Matthews leading the charge going two for three at the plate. The Falcon defense was led by Stephanie McCarthy, pitching seven complete innings giving up five hits, zero runs and striking out three.

The Lady Falcons improve their record to 34-8 and extend their winning streak to an amazing 32 games. 

 

For the first time in Friends University history, Falcon softball will now advance to the NAIA National Championship Tournament. The tournament is scheduled to be held in Decatur, Alabama next week. More information on the national tournament will be released as available.
