'FORT MYERS, FLA.  3/16/07 - The Keene State College softball team completed its spring week trip with a 9-1 record after winning two games in Fort Myers, Fla. on Friday.

The Owls collected 14 hits in a 9-2 opening win over Carroll College of Wisconsin. Erin Fuoroli (Warwick, R.I.) tossed a complete game three-hitter as KSC blanked Fredonia (N.Y.) State 7-0 in its second game of the day.

Keene State also posted a 9-1 spring week record in 2005.

"I was surprised how much we dominated teams," said KSC Coach Charlie Beach.  "Before we left, I was concerned about the level of competition.  Hopefully, we don't get a false sense of security and keep this up when we return home."

Junior outfielder Colleen Ferguson (Sussex, N.J.) led the Owls' offensive assault in the first game with a home run, two singles, and three RBIs.  MJ Hancock (Gardner, Mass.), Kaity Conklin (Selkirk, N.Y.), and Nikki Lyons (Gilford, N.H.) also delivered run-scoring hits.

Pitcher Kari Gardner (Grafton, Mass.) went the distance to pick-up her second win on the trip. She scattered seven hits, fanned two, and didn't allow a walk.

In the second game, Keene State took advantage of six errors to score six runs in the first inning against Fredonia State.  The inning also included a two-run triple by Melissa Scata (Medway, Mass.).

Conklin hit a solo home run in the seventh inning.

Fuoroli improved her record to 4-1 with the win.

Keene State opens up its north schedule with a Little East doubleheader at Western Conn. on Saturday, Mach 31
