Ithaca, NY: The Ramapo College softball team fell to #6 Bethany College today in game eight of the 2008 NCAA Division III Softball Tournament. The Roadrunners will now take on #8 Defiance tomorrow at noon while Bethany will take on top ranked Ithaca College at 10:00 AM.

Senior Heather Immesberger (Rumson Fair Haven/Rumson, N.J.) threw a complete-game seven hitter for Bethany College, holding the Roadrunners off the scoreboard until the final inning, and the Bisons capitalized on three Ramapo errors to post at 5-1 victory.

Ramapo scored in the final inning when rookie Sonni Caruso (River Vale, NJ) led off the inning with a slap single to left field before senior Tara Eagel (Ocean Twp., NJ) ripped a double to left centerfield putting runners at second and third. Caruso scored when sophomore Katie Donnelly (North Haldeon, NJ) reached base on an error. Immesberger recorded the final two outs to spoil the Ramapo comeback.

Rookie Deanna Giordano (Clifton, NJ) fell to 7-3, striking out three in three innings of work while senior Katie Norton (Livingston, NJ) struck out four over the final three innings.

Senior Lauren Cascino (New Windsor, NY) was the only Roadrunner with multiple hit game going 2-4.
