CLERMONT, Fla. --  Mandi Fought tripled and scored in the top of the sixth and Cortney Cash threw a 4-hit shutout to lead the Ohio Northern softball team to a 1-0 victory over No. 14-ranked Moravian (Pa.) to kick off Day 2 of its spring break trip on Tuesday afternoon at the National Training Center softball complex.

The Polar Bears (4-0) finished the day with an 8-2 win over Anna Maria (Mass.)

Moravian falls to 0-2, while Anna Maria falls to 0-6.

Cash struck out three in the complete game win and improves to 2-0 on the season.

With the score tied at 0-0, Fought drilled a one-out triple and scored on a single by Liz Decima to register the game's only run.
