Minutewomen dominate Owls in Round 2

Softball

The Massachusetts softball team made quick work of Temple in its first game of the Atlantic 10 Tournament. The top-seeded Minutewomen (35-12-1) defeated the fourth seed Owls, 8-0, in five innings.

Sophomore pitcher Brandice Balschmiter (25-8) pitched a complete game shutout, giving up two hits and walking one, while striking out seven.

Temple, who beat No. 5 Charlotte by the same score in five innings yesterday, will face the 49ers again today at 4 p.m. in the loser's bracket.

The loser of that game will be eliminated from the tournament.

The Minutewomen will play tomorrow at 2 p.m. against the winner of today's game between No. 2 Fordham and No. 3 Saint Louis.
