Rhody Softball 2020

Rhody Softball released it’s fall schedule today. Exciting to see what this team will accomplish this year. They return six starters from last year, plus have experience in the circle with senior Sarah Gunderson and Rutger’s transfer Taryn Collins. Add a really solid freshman class and an appearance in the A-10 tournament could be in the cards.

Softball plays games in the fall?

[Shane D]

Every year, but it's a limited slate that is not considered as part of the overall record.

Rhody softball went 3-0 this weekend to win the Ocean State Classic. The beat Brown 7-0, Providence 6-3 and Bryant 7-1. Sarah Gunderson, Tayrn Collins and Cece Sidley did a great job in the circle, and the team pounded out 29 hits over the three games to help bring home the title. Rhody finishes up their fall slate with a Friday night game at BC.

Great job ladies!!

Great news CaliURIfan!

Are there any box scores available?
Did any of our incoming Freshmen play? How did they do?
We’re all of our previously injured players ok to play?
Thank you

There are no box scores for these fall ball games.

Sami Villarreal did not play. With regards to new players:

Freshman
Jessica Hennelly, OF, went 4-8 on the weekend
Cece Sidley threw 2 1/3 scoreless innings against Providence to earn the win
Rachel Zingerman had five or six hits and did a nice job at 2nd base.

Also, sophomore transfer from Rutgers, Taryn Collins threw a complete game against Bryant.

For returners, Ari Castillo, Erika Yeager and Faith Musselwhite all hit bombs and Sarah Gunderson threw great all weekend.

CaliURIfan,
Interesting how freshmen Jessica Hennelly and Cece Sidley played together in HS for Christian Brothers in Sacramento.

Nice article on their recruiting:

Yes, they played rec ball together, six years of travel ball, and high school together. It is pretty fun that they are now playing College ball together.

Definitely a nice schedule. The Stanford tournament saves me a trip across the Country to watch Rhody softball .

In the non-conference, they play nine games against teams who played in the post season last year, including:

NCAA Tournament
Longwood (three games)
St. Francis
Stanford (two games)
Boston University

National Invitational Softball Championship (Softball's NIT)
Marshall
Longwood

After a solid fall season, it will be fun to see how this team tackles the Spring.

Go Rhody!!
