Softball Falls Short in Opener at Fordham
3/28/2026 6:30:00 PM | Softball
GW softball fell on Saturday in a tight series opener vs. Fordham in the Bronx, 5-4. The Revolutionaries dropped to 15-13 (5-5 A-10) ahead of games two and three of the series tomorrow.Â
The Revolutionaries went ahead first when Ashley Corpuz smacked a two-run homer in the third. It was Corpuz's fifth home run in the last seven games, and the 35th homer of her career, inching her closer to second all-time in GW history, now one behind Victoria Valos (35 career home runs).
GW could only hold the lead for an inning as Fordham scored three times on three-straight RBI doubles in the fourth. Fordham then extended the lead to 5-2 with a two-run double in the fifth.
Sydney Hogue went deep in the top of the sixth, scoring two to cut the lead to 5-4. The homer was Hogue's fourth of the season, tying her for second on the team with Cece Smith.
GW came close to tying the game in the seventh, loading the bases while down to its final out, but GW's comeback attempt ended on a flyout to center as Fordham secured game one.Â
GW and Fordham return for a doubleheader in the Bronx tomorrow at 12:00 p.m. Both games will be streamed on ESPN+.
