On Friday, March 10, Anoka-Ramsey Softball dropped their 1st games in Florida to NJCAA Division II schools. The team then bounced back the next day by going 3-0 with a doubleheader win over Central Lakes and a win over NJCAA DIII #6 ranked Rowan Gloucester.

"I thought we played pretty well our 1st day despite the outcomes of each game. We just made a costly mistake or two at the wrong time, and a good team will make you pay for those mistakes," said Head Coach Dave Alto.

Saturday, March 11, saw the Golden Rams play two familiar opponents. They swept a doubleheader against Central Lakes 9-6 and 14-7. The team then beat a very tough team out of New Jersey, Rowan Gloucester 8-7.

The team had many hitting stars that day led by Sophomore transfer Emma Hurd who went 8-8 on the day with a double, homerun, and 3 RBI's,  Lyla Galli was 5-8 with a double, 3 HR's, and 7 RBI's, Maddie Bottineau was 6-12 with 2 HR's and 6 RBI's, Molly Gross was 7-12 with 3 doubles to go along with 3 RBI's and Alyssa Meadows in the second game of the day went a perfect 3-3 with 3 HR's and 4 RBI's.

Alyssa is the 1st Golden Ram player to hit 3 homeruns in a game. Gross, Galli, and Bottineau all picked up wins in the circle. Gross had 10 K's and Bottineau had 9 K's in their pitching stints. Galli was the winning pitcher against Rowan Gloucester. 

Anoka-Ramsey is now 5-3 on this young season. They next play another tripleheader on Monday, March 13, against NJCAA DII teams Lewis & Clark and #5 nationally ranked Parkland.
