04-10-09 - After going undefeated in the Patroon Conference last season, the ICC Riders have taken a step in that direction again this year, beginning the season 1-0 after knocking off Hudson in Valatie 7-1. After playing a pair of tight games last season, the Riders found their groove in their opening league contest easing to the victory.

In her first varsity start, freshman pitcher Jessica Van Alphen starred on the mound, pitching all seven innings and surrendering just two hits. Van Alphen struck out 12 and walked just five in the contest.

Alli Pullen collected two hits for the Riders, including a triple while driving in a run, and Christy Zander tallied two hits and two RBIs. Senior outfielder Courtney Hill added two hits for ICC.

Emily Gaylord turned in a solid complete game performance for the Bluehawks, striking out four, while walking just one and giving up nine hits. At the plate McKenzie Hunter and Jenna Turner collected the Bluehawks’ only two hits on the day.

The Riders look to continue their undefeated ways on Thursday when they will play a makeup game against Cairo-Durham. Hudson, who falls to 1-1 in the league, is now off until April 20, when they will host Greenville
