Red Leafs wrap their opening weekend of play in New Mexico

BURNABY, B.C. – The Simon Fraser Red Leafs earned a split in their final two games at the South Central Regional Challenge in Los Lunas, New Mexico. After six games in three days, the team is home to recharge with a week off.
 
SFU began the morning with a 7-4 loss at the hands of Colorado-Colorado Springs. Junior Kristen Davyduke (Saskatoon) opened the scoring by capitalizing on a fielding error in the second, but the Mountain Lions responded with three runs in the third to take a lead they did not relinquish.
 
Davyduke, sophomore Anika Janzen (Chilliwack, B.C.) and junior Janique Balcaen (Winnipeg) each recorded a run batted in as the Red Leafs outhit UCCS 11-10 but just couldn't capitalize often enough when they had runners on base.
 
The second game of the day was a different story, as SFU clobbered host Western New Mexico 9-1 in six innings. The Red Leafs scored in five of the six innings played and recorded 16 hits as a team, led by Davyduke who was a perfect 4 for 4.
 
It was Davyduke who struck first once again with an RBI single in the opening inning. Rookie Grace McMillan (Langley, B.C.) tacked on another RBI single in the second, before sophomore Cassidy Affeldt (Mission, B.C.) blew the game wide open in the fourth with a three-run home run.
 
After junior Abby McGlynn (Langley, B.C.) knocked an RBI double into centre field, rookie Lizzy Sugrive (Surrey, B.C.) made her mark on proceedings with a three-run bomb of her own in the sixth, her first career homer.

Fellow rookie Monica Bourque (Quispamsis, N.B.) was dominant on the mound, allowing just three hits and striking out five batters en route to her first career win. The lone run she gave up was in the sixth when the score was already 9-1.

Affeldt ended the weekend with 12 hits in 21 at-bats, three home runs, a pair of doubles, seven RBIs, and five runs scored as well as a 1.095 slugging percentage. For her efforts, she was recognized at the Great Northwest Athletic Conference Softball Player of the Week.

The Red Leafs are next in action in two weeks, when they head down to California to take on the Academy of Art Urban Knights (Feb. 16) and the Dominican Penguins (Feb. 17) in a pair of doubleheaders. SFU will play at Stanislaus State on Feb. 20.
