After a strong performance, Syracuse softball won their first ACC game of the season, defeating Notre Dame 5-3 in the first game of a doubleheader on Sunday. Freshmen Trinity Nichols and Lauren Vaugh both had their first career RBIs in the victory.

Junior left-handed pitcher Lindsey Hendrix recorded a shutout in the second game before it was called due to rain.

After the first 26 contests on the road, the team will have their home-opener on Friday against Louisville, who they’ll be hosting through the weekend in a three-game clash. The team is 10-15-1 and will be looking to protect their stomping grounds.
