NAPLES, FLA. – The College at Brockport softball team split a pair of games Friday to open the 2016 season.  Head coach John Dumaw tabbed win no. 400 at Brockport with the victory.  Dumaw is already the winningest coach in Brockport athletics history and is now the first coach to reach the milestone of 400 career wins.
 
Game One
Brockport downed the Edgewood College Eagles 5-0 to start the day.  Jaime Berger pitched a complete game shutout, striking out 10 and giving up three walks.  All three outs in the first inning came from strikeouts.  Berger didn't give up a hit until the fourth inning.
 
The Golden Eagles were quick to score two runs in the first frame.  Brianna Harris earned a leadoff walk and advanced to second on a lineout from Karleigh Eaton.  Delaney Buckley drove in Harris on a single to left field.  Two straight walks put Buckley on third and a bases loaded ground out from Amanda Yuhas scored Buckley. 
 
In the top of the second, Morgan Flamholtz flashed the leather at third base, making two plays to keep Edgewood scoreless despite having runners on second and third with one out.
 
Buckley led off the third inning with a single and would score on a double from Flamholtz to extend Brockport's lead to 3-0.  In the bottom of the fourth, a wild pitch scored Stephanie Scala and Harris scored on an error to cap up the 5-0 win.
 
Buckley led the Brockport offense in game one, going two-for-three at the plate with two runs batted in and two runs scored.
 
Game Two
Brockport gave up three runs in the bottom of the fifth and a walk off single in the seventh handed Brockport a 6-5 loss.
 
Harris led off the game with a single up the middle and advanced to second on a sacrifice bunt from Korey Kibling.  A double from Buckley scored Harris.  Flamholtz then singled to score Buckley and give Brockport a quick 2-0 lead.  Nichols College answered back with two runs in the bottom of the inning to knot the game at two.
 
The Golden Eagles tabbed one run in the second as Felicia Urbanczyk scored on a single from Harris.  With runners on first and second, Eaton dug in and ripped a double to right center to score Flamholtz.  A single from Lindsay Wachna scored Tabitha McBride to give Brockport a 5-2 lead after three innings.
