Box Score (Barry)  |  Box Score (St. Thomas)

MIAMI SHORES, Fla. – Senior Madison Vicendese reached base in 6 of 8 plate appearances, and freshman Rachel Seiverd drove in four runs in the opener to lead East Stroudsburg University offensively during defeats to Barry and St. Thomas on Monday.

The Warriors (0-8) dropped an 8-6 decision to Barry in the morning, and they had a late comeback attempt fall short in a 6-4 loss to NAIA member St. Thomas later in the afternoon.

Vicendese went 2 for 3 with a walk in both games, totaling two RBIs and three runs scored. Junior Kaylee Hazewski, redshirt freshman Marissa Govan, freshman Denva Shaw-Tait and sophomore Ashley Spencer added two-hit outings vs. St. Thomas.

Barry (5-4) led 6-4 after two innings in ESU's first game, with five of those runs crossing the plate in the first inning. The Warriors responded in the top-half of the second with a two-run single from Seiverd and sacrifice flies by freshman Lexi Wright and sophomore Sofia Cecchin.

That score held until the fifth, when a clutch two-out two-run single by Seiverd briefly leveled up the score. The Buccaneers, though, came right back with a go-ahead run-scoring double by Karla Santiago in their next trip to the plate, and they added a key insurance run on a fielding error in the sixth.

St. Thomas (3-2) jumped out to a 6-1 lead through four innings in the second contest. The Warriors pulled one run back in the fifth, and they loaded the bases with nobody out on three-consecutive singles in the seventh.

After a strikeout, ESU plated its third and fourth runs on a Vicendese walk and an RBI single by sophomore Kaitlyn Caleen. St. Thomas pitcher Kaitlyn Spalding, however, then induced a lineout and a pop out to secure the victory.

Freshman Caitlyn Murray recorded her first career hit and RBI in the loss for the Warriors. Sophomore Taylor Keeney worked the final 2 2/3 innings in the circle, allowing two hits and a walk while keeping the Bobcats off the scoreboard.

With her four hits today, Vicendese upped her batting average to a team-leading .435. She had four multi-hit games during ESU's first eight contests to open the season.

The Warriors now have a week and a half off before returning to action at a tournament hosted by Virginia State from Feb. 22-24. The tournament begins with a 3 p.m. doubleheader against Seton Hill on Friday, Feb. 22.
