NASHVILLE – The Trevecca (10-5, 4-0 G-MAC) softball team swept a Great Midwest Athletic Conference softball doubleheader over Ursuline College (6-8, 0-4 G-MAC) Thursday afternoon at the TNU Softball Complex.

In the opener, Natalie Papini and Kelsey Kemp combined to allow just two hits and one run to the visiting Arrows.  They duo combined to strike out seven batters and induce 10 groundouts.

Trevecca jumped out to a 1-0 lead in the first as Breanna Zeis singled on a bunt scoring Aubrey Jordan. TNU extended its lead to 3-0 in the third as Lacey Grimes socked a two-run homer to centerfield.

Zeis would push the Lady Trojans' lead to 4-0 in the fifth with a home run to left field.

Ursuline got on the board in the next inning as Rachel Wells singled through the right side scoring Samantha Roberts.

TNU would close the game in the sixth scoring five runs highlighted by Shelby Andrews' three-run RBI double to left center invoking the run rule.

Zeis led Trevecca going 3-for-4 with three RBI and two runs scored.

Kemp (2-2) earned the win for Trevecca while her counterpart Ciara Seymour (2-4) took the loss tossing six innings, allowing 11 hits and eight earned runs.

In game two, Ursuline jumped out to a 2-0 lead in the bottom of the second as a fly ball was dropped by the Lady Trojans centerfielder giving UC an early advantage.

Andrews followed in the bottom of the second with an RBI single scoring Makenzie Leding to cut the Trevecca deficit to one.

The Lady Trojans would take the lead in the home half of the third as Zeis connected on her second homer of the day, this time a two-run shot to left center giving the home team a slight 3-2 advantage.

In the fourth, Lindsey Stephens give TNU a 5-2 lead after an RBI double to right center.

Ursuline would respond though to climb back into the game. In the top of the fifth, Megan Passwaiter hit a two-run double to bring the Arrows to within one run (5-4).

Still down 5-4 in the top of the seventh, Wells would tie the game with a shot to right center.

Trevecca would have a chance to close the game in the home half of the seventh. With just one out, Kelsey Kemp flied out to centerfielder in the hopes of scoring Grimes from third. However, Ursuline's Roberts threw Grimes out from center to home to keep the game going.

The Arrows couldn't use their defensive momentum though in the eighth as Stephens retired the side to bring Trevecca up to bat.

With runners on first and second, Haylee Rogers grounded out to put two runners into scoring position. In the next at-bat, Ursuline's catcher attempted to pickoff Andrews at third but her throw from home sailed past UC's third baseman allowing Andrews to score and end the game.
