The FAMU women’s softball team rallied from a 2-0 first-inning deficit with a four-run second inning, then rode the pitching of freshman Kenya Periera to a 4-2 victory in the title game of the 2014 Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference Softball Championship.

FAMU (24-27) captured its league-leading tenth softball title with the win over arch-rival Bethune-Cookman (25-31), which has won eight (8) league titles.

Head Coach Veronica Wiggins was pleased that the team had finally gelled.  

“With this era of youth, it takes a lot to get them to buy in to your system.  Things came together when it needed to and that’s what it’s all about,” Wiggins said.

Pereira (9-8) pitched 26 and one-third innings in the tourney, allowing three runs, two earned, on 18 hits, with 17 strikeouts against just seven walks, to earn a spot on the all-tournament team as well as the Most Outstanding Player honor.

Joining Pereira on the all-tournament were Christina Robbs and Kieffi Myrick.
