Box Score Things did not go the way the Lady Dragons Softball team had hoped as they fell in the three game series to the Lady Tigers from Stillman College.

Game 1: Stillman College 6 Lane College 4
    Brittany McElvain opened the 2015 season with a strong performance from the pitching circle. She pitched four strong innings in the opening game allowing five runs on five hits. The Lady Dragons defense did not help their cause allowing two unearned runs off a two-out error in the bottom of the first. The Lady Dragons had scored a single run in the top of the inning, before the Lady Tigers came back with their two runs in the bottom of the inning.  The Lady Tigers scored another unearned run in the bottom of the 2^nd inning to take a 3-1 led. The Lady Dragons collected seven hits in the game as Jasmine McNeil collected 3 hits in 4 at-bats including an RBI double and a Solo Home Run in the seventh inning. Brittany McElvain also smashed a run- scoring double in the game.

Game 2: Stillman College 5 Lane College 3
The Lady Dragons fell short in game two of the series as more defensive mistakes allowed more unearned runs to score for the Lady Tigers. Shawnae Campbell took the loss from the pitcher's circle allowing 5 runs on 8 hits in her 6 innings of pitching. The Lady Dragons were held in check with only five hits as Jasmine McNeil collected her second double of the season, driving in two runs. Others collecting hits for the Lady Dragons were Crystal Apfel, Kyla Riley, BreeAnna Stevens and Erica Whitaker.

Game 3: Stillman College 6 Lane College 2
The Lady Dragons put the bat on the ball most of the game, but only three fell for hits as the Lady Tigers defense handled everything hit in their direction. Several key defensive plays by the Lady Tigers made the difference in big innings for the Lady Dragons. Collecting hits for the Lady Dragons were Crystal Apfel, Sherica Bradford, and BreeAnna Stevens. Brittany McElvain took her second loss of the season allowing six runs on 9 hits.

The Lady Dragons are scheduled to face conference foe Lady Magicians from LeMoyne-Owen College in the next series.
