DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. – The University of South Carolina Aiken softball team lost a pair of games at Embry-Riddle Tuesday afternoon.

The Pacers dropped the first game 15-3 before losing the nightcap 6-0.

In the opener, head coach Jerry Snyder's team was paced by Hannah Price's team-best two hits. Sarah Sams and Courtney Strauss each drove in a run. Brielle Jungblut, Sydney Kate Murphy and Chandler Terrapin all crossed home plate.

Trailing 13-0 in the third, USC Aiken got on the board. Janee McCarthy singled with one away, but was erased on a fielder's choice from Jungblut. Strauss quickly capitalized on a pitch, sending a shot into right field. A mishap allowed Jungblut to gallop home all the way from first base.

In the fourth, Terrapin ripped a double to left field. Murphy followed it up with a single to left. A walk to Kathleen St. Peter allowed the bases to be full of Pacers. Two batters later, Sams earned a base on balls, plating Terrapin. McCarthy reached on a fielder's choice and Murphy scored, pushing the score to 13-3. The home squad plated two runs in the fifth for the final tally.

In the nightcap, USC Aiken was unable to get a runner on base in the defeat.
