TOWSON, Md. – Brook Miko had five hits and drove in six runs to power the Towson University softball team to a pair of victories over Elon in a Colonial Athletic Association (CAA) doubleheader at the sun-drenched Tiger Softball Field Saturday afternoon.
 
Miko had three hits as the Tigers won the opener 11-1. She followed that up by driving in four runs during a 10-0 victory in the nightcap. Towson's defense also shined during the afternoon by making several sparkling plays to terminate potential Elon rallies.
 
It was far from a one-woman show for Towson, which rode the dynamite pitching of Megan Dejter and Melissa Abrahamian to eclipse the 30-win plateau for the 15th time in the 23-year tenure of Towson head coach Lisa Costello.
 
Records
Elon               20-21 overall, 4-7 CAA
Towson           31-11, 7-4
