The Concord Women's Softball team looked very much like a squad playing its first games of the season, and was swept in a non-conference doubleheader at Lincoln Memorial University (TN) Wednesday afternoon.

The Lady Lions committed five errors in the first game and three in the nightcap, falling 8-0 and 8-2 in Harrogate, TN.

In the first game, the host Lady Railsplitters exploded for five runs, two of them unearned. LMU would add two more runs in the 4th and one in the 5th, all of them unearned.  Wednesday's games were Lincoln Memorial's fifth and sixth of the season.

Concord reached LMU starter Megan LaFevor for two hits, a two-out single by Tamara Smith in the 2nd inning and a leadoff single by Tiffany Korbodo in the 4th.

In the second game, Lincoln Memorial bolted out to a 3-0 lead after the 1st inning. But Concord answered in the top of the 2nd. Becca Gleason led off with a single, and stole second. Ericka Davies reached on a groundball that Railsplitters 3B Bridget Eicher misplayed, allowing Gleason to move to third.

But LMU (6-0) would strike back with a single run in the bottom of the 3rd, three more runs in the 4th, and one more in the 5th.

Williams, playing in her first collegiate contests, led Concord's offense in game two by going 2-2 with an RBI.
