The Goldey-Beacom Lightning softball team kicked off their 2026 home campaign in impressive fashion, claiming both games of a doubleheader against Lincoln University of Pennsylvania.
The Lightning dominated the opening contest with a commanding 9-1 win over their visiting opponents. The team then followed up with a thrilling 2-1 victory in the second game of the day.
The nightcap provided plenty of drama as freshman player Ayri Hansen from Lakewood, California, came through in the clutch. Hansen delivered the decisive hit in the bottom of the seventh inning, securing the sweep for Goldey-Beacom with her game-winning single.
The doubleheader sweep gives the Lightning positive momentum as they continue their 2026 season at home.
