The Centenary Cyclones kicked off their conference play with a tough 5-0 loss to Marywood University on opening day. Despite some strong individual performances, the Cyclones were unable to get on the scoreboard and fell to an early deficit in their conference campaign.

Game Highlights:

• Joseph Frei (2-3 w/ double) and Vincent DeGrado (2-3 w/ singles) each recorded 2 hits for Centenary, providing some offensive sparks despite the team's inability to score.

• Sam Castillo delivered a strong pitching performance, going 7 innings on the mound. He allowed 4 runs while striking out 5 batters, keeping the Cyclones within striking distance.

• Marywood capitalized on a few key opportunities, ultimately sealing the win with a 5-0 shutout.

While the Cyclones fell short in their opener, they'll look to regroup and bounce back in their upcoming games as they continue their conference schedule tomorrow with a double header at Marywood.
