Towson Advances to CAA Championship Round With 12-1 Win

HARRISONBURG, Va. – During an electric eight-run second inning, the Towson University softball team got RBI hits from five consecutive batters to defeat the College of Charleston, 12-1, in a Colonial Athletic Association (CAA) Tournament at Veterans Memorial Park Friday morning.
 
Daria Edwards led the relentless Tiger offensive assault by driving in a career-high five runs. She had a two-run double in the second and a three-run homer in the fourth inning. Edwards also reached base in all three plate appearances.
 
With the victory, Towson (37-16 overall) advanced to its sixth CAA Tournament championship game where it will meet top-seeded and seventh-ranked James Madison. This is Towson's second appearance in the CAA title game in the last three years.
