Softball Seniors Notch Hits against No. 14 Duke

Bison fall, 12-0, in NCAA Durham Regional

DURHAM, N.C. (May 16, 2025) – Howard University softball (31-19) made their third NCAA Regional appearance Friday afternoon where they fell to host school Duke University (39-16), 12-0, in five innings.
 
Duke capitalized on four home runs, upping the score to double digits. Quick plays, including a double from standout senior shortstop Sidney Fletcher (Whittier, Calif.) kept the Blue Devils from widening the gap.
 
Offensively, seniors Payton Quinonez (Tulare, Calif.) and Lealani Ricks (Madera, Calif.) both record hits against the ranked opponent in the fifth and final inning.
 
In one of the highlights of the day, junior pitcher Julia Holt (Tucson, Ariz.) made her first career at-bat, reaching first on a fielding error.
 
Howard is set to get back in the diamond Saturday (May 17) afternoon at 4 p.m., when they face off against Coastal Carolina in an elimination game.
