FORT MYERS, Fla. – In the final day of the FGCU Kickoff Classic, a seventh-inning rally fell short as the University of Memphis softball team fell to ACC foe NC State by a score of 2-1. The loss drops Memphis to 3-1 on the young season with the Northwestern State Tournament coming up next weekend.
"Molly pitched a great game, but we were unable to recover from a couple of defensive miscues," said head coach Natalie Poole. "We didn't take advantage in early situations and just came up short at the end."
After two scoreless frames by both squads, NC State got on the board in the bottom of the third inning.
