Freshman first baseman Ashley Powers helped the No. 16-ranked Emory softball team to a 4-0 record at the 3n2 Elite Event.

Powers hit .385 after going 5-for-13 at the plate with all her hits being the extra-base variety -- three doubles and two round trippers. In addition, she topped the team with eight runs batted in and scored four runs.  

Her first collegiate hit was a three-run homer that highlighted a seven-run uprising in the second inning in an eventual  five-inning, 10-0 victory over Rhodes College.  On the final day of action, she stroked a two-run homer in the bottom of the sixth that closed out the team's scoring in a 5-2 verdict over Rhodes.   She followed that performance by tying a school record with three doubles (3-for-4 at the plate), scoring twice, and driving in three runs in a 5-4 come-from behind outcome vs. Lynchburg.  Her final two ribbies came in the bottom of the seventh inning and scored the tying and winning runs.
