RALEIGH, N.C. -- The Meredith College Avenging Angels capped off Sunday's USA South doubleheader with a come-from-behind 7-5 victory over the visiting Averett Cougars to record the program's third 20-win season under the direction of Head Coach Kim Scavone. AU earned a 15-2 win in a five-inning game one to open the day.

Averett opened strong scoring seven runs on six hits through three innings, but Eran Artigues terminated the rally with a two-RBI homer over the center field fence in the bottom of the third.

The Cougar bats were undisturbed by the interruption and managed to drive in eight more runs during the next two innings to pull away for the win.

Taylor Jackson posted her eighth loss for the Angels allowing two home runs with two earned runs. Leigh Ann Charles relieved Jackson but was replaced by Katie Kepley in the fourth after being hit in the foot by a ball. AU's Mary Beth Smith pitched a complete game for her 17th win.

Julia Allsbrook went two-for-two for Meredith, including an extra-base hit in the fourth.

Game two opened at a much slower pace with the Cougars leading 2-1 heading into the bottom of the fifth.

Courtney Saunders opened the frame with a single and Artigues moved her to second with one of four walks on the day. Maria Annunziata drilled one up the middle to score Saunders tying the game at twos. Kayla North entered to run for Artigues, and Bryce Smith drove her home in the next at-bat. Charley Cox advanced Meredith's lead to two with a RBI-double to close out the inning.

Averett responded with a trio of runs to retake the lead and followed with five position changes in the field as the Angels readied to bat.

Meredith rallied with a two-RBI double from Saunders followed by a sacrifice fly from Artigues to place the Angels back in front. AU returned four players to their original positions to get out of the inning, but the Meredith defense finished off the Cougars in the top of the seventh for the split.

Lauren Marbrey earned the win for Meredith in game two allowing nine hits with two earned runs, two walks, and two KO's. Jessica Griffin entered in relief in the bottom of the sixth for Averett to record the loss.
