Softball

On the diamond, the softball team also picked up their first win of the season, hanging on for a 1-0 victory over Starmount.

Last week, Ashe lost a close one to Wilkes Central, but got a very strong pitching performance from freshman Brianna McCoy. She pitched equally well at Starmount, allowing just two hits in seven innings with nine strikeouts. The Rams countered with Olivia Greene on the mound who also went all seven innings and gave up four hits and one run with nine strikeouts.

Ashe is now 1-1 overall and 1-1 in the MVAC. The Lady Huskies will travel to East Wilkes on Tuesday and Alleghany on Friday.
