Waterbury, Conn. (3/27/14) The Dominican College softball team split a Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference (CACC) double-header with host, Post University, in games played this afternoon. DC took game one, 7-5 in nine innings and fell in the night cap, 10-7.

Senior Paige Berzak* (Cypress, Calif.) delivered a two out two-run single to center field to extend the lead to 7-3.
Post would add two runs in the bottom of the ninth for the final 7-5 Lady Charger win.
