SOFTBALL 8, NORTH TEXAS 0

Harvard wasted little time in getting on the board, as Stefanchik and Bettinelli opened the game with back-to-back bunt singles and Gordon followed with a three-run home run. The Crimson added two more in the fourth when Fritsch reached base on an error and scored on Miller’s two-run blast.

Kidder broke the game open with her first career hit—a bases-loaded triple that gave the Crimson an 8-0 lead.
