The Delaware State University Hornets softball squad got off to a rough start this season, suffering a crushing 20-0 shutout loss to the University of Virginia in their opening game.
The Dover-based Hornets were unable to generate any offensive momentum against the Cavaliers, failing to cross home plate throughout the entire contest. Meanwhile, Virginia’s offense exploded for 20 runs in what became a one-sided affair.
The lopsided defeat marks a challenging beginning to the new campaign for Delaware State’s softball program. The team will look to regroup and bounce back from this difficult season opener as they continue their schedule.
This represents the first game of what the Hornets hope will be an improved season despite the setback against the ACC opponent from Charlottesville.
