Softball on fire in Florida
By Michele Mount '95
Lehigh Sports Information
The Lehigh University Women's Softball
Team has started the season off with a bang.
During their annual spring trip to Fort Myers,
FL, the Engineers compiled a record of 9-3,
including a three-game sweep of Fairfield
University.
Lehigh's formula for success was a combination of veteran leadership and rookie
talent. The Brown and White were led offensively by Allentown, Pa. native, Kim Miller.
The junior shortstop, connected for 25 hits,
including 12 for extra bases, drove in 27 runs
and scored 21 times. In addition, Miller was
a perfect 9-for-9 in stolen base attempts. She
also leads the team defensively in assists
with 38.
According to Miller, "the warm weather
really agrees with me. I hit much better in
Florida, but I am prepared to suck it up now
that it is a little colder."
In a 17-9 win over Manhattan, Miller hit
a single, double, triple and home run, scored
five runs and knocked in six RBI's. Similarly,
she hit a single, two doubles and a home run
in a 9-4 win over Fairfield University.
Junior Jessica Feigley was another asset
at the plate. The Allentown, Pa., native connected
on 15 hits, including two doubles and three triples,
while driving in ten teammates. The first baseman
leads the team defensively with 112 putouts.
Feigley's best outing in Florida was in Lehigh's 9-0
loss against Fairfield University, where she registered a 2-for-3 performance at the plate with a triple
and two RBI's. She also made seven putouts.
The pitching staff was led by freshmen sensations Patty Godwin and Jill Lewis, who combined
for a 7-0 record in the Sunshine State. Godwin
struck out 12 batters in three games, giving up only
three runs, including four scoreless innings against
Fairfield on March 16. The Fountain Valley, Cal.,
native also produced at the plate with 16 hits and 5
RBI's. Godwin is second on the team with ten stolen
bases.
Lewis, a native of Prospect Park, Pa., pitched a
no-hitter in her first game as an Engineer in a 9-0
win over Fairfield. In four games, she allowed just
one run, and struck out 11 batters. In the 17-9
victory over Manhatten, Lewis entered the game in
the second inning with the scored tied at seven. She
struck out two batters and gave up only one earned
run.
Coach Sue Troyan was more than pleased with
