Updated: Softball Team to Open 2020 Season This Weekend in Houston
February 18, 2020 | Softball
UPDATE: Princeton's games for Friday have been cancelled. The team will play Saturday's games as scheduled.
Three games are on the docket for the Princeton softball team this weekend as the 2020 season gets underway in Houston.
The Tigers will head to the Houston Challenge to open the new season Saturday through Sunday. Live stats for all games and video for games against Houston will be available here.Â
The tournament will be a homecoming for senior catcher Alex Colón of Kingwood, outside Houston. Colón is one of six Tigers who hit better than .200 last year and is back this season, led by senior outfielder Megan Donahey, who had a team-best 45 hits and a .385 average last season. Senior shortstop Allison Harvey hit .305 last year with 36 hits and a team-best eight doubles.Â
In the circle, Princeton returns all but 33 of its 248 2/3 innings from last season, led by junior Allie Reynolds, who threw 149 2/3 innings last season, and sophomore Ali Blanchard, who threw 62 2/3.Â
Six freshmen join the team this season, including utility/pitcher Lauren Murphy, infielder Caitlin Bish, catcher/utility Adrienne Chang, catcher/utility Ashley McDonald, outfielder Serena Starks, and pitcher Alexis Laudenslager.Â
Following the weekend, Princeton will head to Washington, D.C. for five games between Feb. 28 and Mar. 1 against Georgetown, Towson, Morgan State (two) and George Washington.
