Recap

After defeating Bethany 17-3 in an exhibition on Saturday, the Wesleyan's offense was not as sharp on Wednesday in the regular season opener at Alderson Broaddus. The home Battlers jumped out to a 9-3 lead in the first half, and carried that to a 16-5 victory over the Lady 'Cats. Coach Hannah Lively's team kept it close through the first ten minutes, as the teams traded goals back and forth until Alderson Broaddus went on a 5-0 run in the middle of the first half. Wesleyan never recovered from that outburst, as they only got off nine shots to Alderson Broaddus' forty.
