Softball Falls in AEC Championship

Pacers close historic season at 26-9

Scranton, Pa. - Two-seed Cabrini University upset top seed and host Marywood University for the 2022 Atlantic East Conference crown Sunday afternoon in Scranton. The Cavaliers took the opener 3-0 and game two 5-1 to earn the Conference's automatic bid to the NCAA Division III Championship Tournament. 

Marywood (26-9) will await word for a possible ECAC Championship when that field is announced Monday afternoon. Cabrini's Avery Byrnes won both games on the mound and was named Tournament Most Valuable Player for her efforts. Brynes had a no-hitter in the opening game victory, striking out 13 and allowing just two base runners on a walk and hit-by-pitch.

Hamm_Elite 20Marywood's Mara Hamm (pictured left) was named the Atlantic East Conference's "Elite 20" award winner. Modeled after the NCAA Elite 90 Academic Recognition Award program, the Atlantic East Elite 20 Award is presented to the student-athlete (sophomore or higher in academic standing) with the highest cumulative GPA competing at the finals site at each of the Atlantic East's 20 team championships. 

In a dominating performance on the mound in the opener, Brynes fanned 13 in her no-hit complete-game win. She faced just 23 batters in the game, striking out 13 and causing eight fly balls for the win.

Hamm allowed two earned runs on nine hits in the loss. She struck out nine but got no offensive support. Emily Wargo's single to left in the third drove in Madison Gugel for the first run of the game. In the fifth, Wargo was credited with a sac RBI after she popped out to first base but Kaitlyn Martin managed to score on the tag-up from third, putting the Cavaliers up 2-0. In the sixth, Gugel drove in an insurance run with a double down the left field line to score Ariana Mirenda.  

Gugel finished the opener 3-for-3 with a triple and the aforementioned doulbe. Wargo had two RBI. 

In the title clinching game, Byrnes (14-6) came on in relief in the third inning and fanned another six batters to earn the win. Sammi Sisolak started for Cabrini and gave up two hits in two innings. Gianna Marsico (11-6) suffered the loss for Marywood after allowing four earned runs (five total) on 11 Cavalier hits.

Martin drove in the first two runs of game two for Cabrini with a pair of sacrifice flyouts in the first and third innings.  Wargo then drove in another run in the third on an infield single, and Mirenda would make it 4-0 when she scored after Gugel stole second and forced a throwing error.

Marywood got their only run of the afternoon on a Hamm single to right in the sixth, scoring Annie Heyen, who reached base earlier in the inning with her 100th career hit.
