CLERMONT, Fla. (February 25, 2020) – The Webber International University softball team won both of its games on Tuesday at The Spring Games played at PFX Athletics Legends Way Ballfields in Clermont, Florida, improving to a very impressive 11-1 on the season so far. The Warriors defeated Point Park University (Pa.) 8-1 in their first game of the day before taking down Mount Vernon Nazarene University 11-3 in six innings.

COACH'S CORNER: "It was a fun Tuesday for our Warrior softball team," said Head Coach Kristy Burton. "We had two complete team wins today for our program. Everyone was thankful and ready to be back in the warm Florida weather. It was great to see our bats continue to stay hot while our pitching staff continues to work hard to keep us in every game. We were able to control the tempo in both games thanks to our aggressive at bats. We are now looking forward to seeing everyone tomorrow at Nancy Nichols field for our games at 1 p.m. and 3 p.m."
