The Le Moyne College softball team ended their 2026 regular season with a 12-4 loss to Central Connecticut State, concluding the series at home. The Dolphins initially led after scoring in the first inning, but CCSU quickly rebounded with four runs in the second. A rally in the fourth brought Le Moyne within one run, but CCSU broke the game open in the sixth with six runs, including a grand slam. Gavigan led the Dolphins with two RBI while Benderski had a team-high in hits.

By the Numbers
  • Le Moyne scored 4 runs on 8 hits while CCSU recorded 12 runs on 15 hits.
  • Freshman pitcher Tatum Nessman allowed 9 runs over 5 innings, striking out 6 batters.
What's Next

The Dolphins, now seeded fourth, will head to the NEC Softball Championship in Brooklyn, taking on the top-seeded LIU Sharks on Thursday, May 7.

Bottom Line

Despite a strong start, Le Moyne's late-game struggles underscore the need for sharper pitching and consistent offense as they prepare for their postseason match against LIU.
