FORT MYERS, Fla. - Florida Gulf Coast University softball won the first game of the doubleheader on Monday against the University of South Florida, 2-1, off a
Neely Peterson home run in the sixth inning.
"We were in that game because Angie pitched a gem," Peterson said. "That's my mindset as a catcher. I want to have my pitcher's back at the plate and behind the plate. I got it where I wanted it and I hit it over the fence."

In what was the first game of a doubleheader that showcased some stellar pitching, the Eagles defeated USF 2-1.
Angelina Bonilla took the mound after earning ASUN pitcher of the week honors. Bonilla pitched another complete game only allowing three hits and one walk while allowing one earned run.
Peterson got all the offense for the Green and Blue in the game when she homered to left center with
Tiffany Meek on base.
Madison Carr recorded the third Eagles hit on the day with a single down the right field line in the second.
