Softball Handles Georgia Southern in Doubleheader

Arends Throw One-Hitter, Glover Bats 4-for-4

STATESBORO, Ga. - North Florida softball (37-11) showed off its versatility on offense and defense with a pair of wins against Georgia Southern (9-26) Wednesday, April 20.

The Ospreys played shutdown defense in the first game with a 2-1 victory in extra innings, while flashing their bats in the second matchup for a 12-0 run-ruled win. UNF run-ruled its eighth opponent of the season in the second doubleheader game.

Halle Arends put up one of the most impressive performances of the season for the Ospreys with 13 strikeouts, which is a career-best mark, in eight innings pitched. Shannon Glover also had the best performance of her collegiate career with a 4-for-4 night that was one double shy of the cycle.
