Softball Dominates In All Facets, Moves To 8-0
February 14, 2026 | Softball
CHAPEL HILL, N.C. - The Carolina softball team had a historic day at Anderson Stadium, beating Monmouth 24-0 in game one and Bryant 20-0 in game two.
This marks the most runs scored in one day or in two games in program history.
The Tar Heels pitching was just as impressive, allowing just three hits on the day and throwing two shutouts.
The Carolina offense continued its torrid start to the year, this time tying the program record for the most runs in a single game and the largest margin of victory. The long ball has been the weapon of choice for the Tar Heels during the Carolina Classic, with a grand total of 13 home runs, including the nine that they hit today. They've hit 15 home runs this week and 22 on the year in just eight games.
Jil Livengood was lights out in her collegiate debut, twirling four shutout innings with seven strikeouts to earn the win.
The scoring happened early and often with Emily LeGette opening the scoring with a bases clearing double to go up 3-0. Shelby Barbee then doubled in LeGette and MC Eaton blasted a home run that cleared the scoreboard to go up 6-0 in the first.
Michele Tarpey then joined the home run party to go up 8-0 in the second. The third inning saw seven Tar Heel runs cross the plate including Sydney Horton's first career home run which plated Tarpey and Young.
The fourth inning was another first, Catie Boggs launched her career home run, a three-run bomb to dead center field.
Kendall Frost came in to close out the fifth and end the game.
INSIDE THE BOX SCORE - UNC vs. Monmouth (24-0)
The second game was another offensive explosion. The Carolina bats opened with 11 runs in the first inning, sending 17 batters to the plate.
Reece kept it rolling in the second, blasting another home run. Lexie Roberts saw Sanaa Thompson's inside-the-park home run last night and decided she wanted one to. Just like Thompson last night, Roberts sent it down the left field line and motored all the way around, beating the throw home for her first career home run to extend the lead to 17-0.
Lindsay Lumsden came in to pitch hit in the fourth and she belted her first home run in Carolina Blue. MC Eaton followed that up with her first of the game and second of the day to extend the lead to 20-0.
Kenna Raye Dark was lights out, throwing four scoreless innings with four strikeouts, only allowing one hit. Kina Davis came in for the fifth inning and shut things down in her first career appearance.
