Last weekend, the Georgetown softball team (3-7) traveled to Statesboro, Ga for the Georgia Southern Invitational tournament. While there, freshman Aimee Moffat hit the Hoyas’ first homerun of the season—a two-run homerun—in the bottom of the 7th inning during a Friday game against Drexel. Her two RBIs were the only Hoya runs in their 4-2 loss to the Dragons.
“It was actually my first overthe-fence homerun ever,” Moffat said. “I didn’t even realize it was the first homerun for the team this season. I was just glad I was out of my hitting slump.”
Moffat struggled her first week out, but attributed her difficulties to the mental aspect of making the transition from high school to college sports, which is challenging for many players.
“It’s difficult,” Moffat said of the college level of play and commitment. “It’s really time consuming. There’s no talking during practice, you’re actually focused the entire time.”
Though the Hoyas’ record for the tournament was 2-4, Moffat is optimistic about the team’s potential.
“I know we’re going to face a lot of really tough teams, but I know we can be competitive if we play to our ability,” Moffat said.
The team has several more tournaments before their first home game at Guy Mason Field on March 12.
