The 2012 season kicked off with a bang on Monday afternoon at Lady Rams Park as the UWG softball team won the season opener in grand fashion with a 10-3 stomping of Albany State. In the nightcap, the Wolves continued the hit parade with an 18-3 victory.
New head coach Mandy Harris started her era with a 1-0 record at West Georgia on the back of a familiar face to Wolves' fans in sophomore Nicole Yancey. The Carrollton native belted two home runs, including a sixth-inning grand slam, to lead the UWG offensive in a 10-run outburst.
The UWG scoring started in the first inning, as Yancey led off the game with a double down the right-field line. Senior Jen Culberson moved her over to third on a sacrifice bunt, followed by an RBI single from center fielder Megan Garcia.
The Wolves continued the scoring in the second inning, as freshman Ashley Langleydelivered a two-out single, then promptly stole second base. Yancey then brought home the second run of the season with a single down the left-field line, giving the Wolves a 2-0 lead.
After Albany State plated three runs in the bottom of the second, the Wolves took their turn to break the game open in the top of the third.
