The Centenary University Softball team suffered a tough 11-0 loss in Game 2 of their doubleheader against Kean University, capping off a difficult opening day to their 2025 season. Despite an improved offensive effort compared to Game 1, the Cyclones were unable to capitalize on opportunities, managing just three hits as Kean's powerful offense and strong pitching proved too much to handle.

After falling 10-0 in the opener, Centenary looked to bounce back in Game 2 with a more aggressive approach at the plate. Sophomore Carolyn Rosenberg was a bright spot for the Cyclones, collecting two of the team's three hits. Her solid at-bats and determined approach highlighted a strong individual performance in an otherwise challenging game.

In addition to Rosenberg's hits, Bobbi Jones added a hit of her own, offering a brief glimmer of hope for Centenary's offense. However, the Cyclones were unable to string together enough hits to break through against Kean's defense. The Cougars' pitching staff shut down Centenary's attack, once again limiting scoring chances and forcing the Cyclones into quick outs throughout the game.

Kean, meanwhile, showed why they are a dominant force in the NJAC conference, with a balanced offensive explosion that saw them score in multiple innings. Their timely hitting and aggressive base running overwhelmed Centenary's defense, leaving little room for a comeback.

The loss drops Centenary to 0-2 to start the season, but there are signs of promise as they build chemistry and adjust to the intensity of competition at the collegiate level. With the season still in its early stages, the Cyclones remain optimistic about their potential and are focused on refining their game moving forward.

Looking ahead, Centenary will take this as a stepping stone for their next matchups, hoping to build on their growth and return stronger. The team will have the opportunity to regroup, reassess, and come back ready for their next challenge.

As always, the Cyclones are determined to fight through adversity and continue developing their skills throughout the season.
