STATESBORO, GA. – College of Charleston lost to Winthrop, 7-2, and Georgia Southern, 2-1, to wrap up play at the Eagle Round Robin on Sunday in Statesboro, Ga.

Riley Miller hit a leadoff homer in the second inning to tie Winthrop at one before the Eagles scored a pair of runs in the fourth and three more in the fifth, including a two-run homer by Ansley Gilreath.

CofC added its final run in the seventh when Payton Wade hit her second round tripper of the season. Kylie Burke worked 2 1/3 innings of hitless ball in relief of starter Carli McCants.

Georgia Southern took a 2-0 lead in the third when Bailee Wilson hit a two-run homer. Lauren Lozano responded with a solo shot in the fifth to cut the Cougar deficit in half, but they were unable to tie the game after Shealyn Starks singled with two outs in the seventh.

Payton Lemire went the distance, allowing six hits and no earned runs while striking out four.
