Softball Preview: Woodbridge Warriors vs. University Trojans

Suggested Video

Woodbridge is a perfect 10-0 against University since March of 2019 and they'll have a chance to extend that dominance on Wednesday. The Warriors will be playing in front of their home fans against the Trojans at 5:30 p.m. Both squads will be entering this one on the heels of a big victory.

Woodbridge will roll into the matchup after a wild two-game stretch: they only put up one run on Thursday, then bounced right back against Northwood on Monday. The Warriors blew past the Timberwolves 14-4.

Mia Tamkoc made a big impact no matter where she played. On the mound, she struck out seven batters over seven innings while giving up just two earned (and two unearned) runs off ten hits. Tamkoc was also big at the plate, getting on base in three of her five plate appearances with one run.
