BOX SCORE (PDF)

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. – Samford senior infielder Madison Couch homered twice as the Samford softball team earned a 6-0 win over previously undefeated DePaul Friday night on the first day of the Samford Classic at the Samford Softball Stadium.
 
With the win, Samford improves to 2-6 on the young season, while DePaul falls to 6-1 with the loss. Samford's second game of the night against Georgia State was canceled due to inclement weather in the area.
