Softball Drops Final Game of Three-Game Set 4-2

WASHINGTON — The Georgetown University softball team lost the final game of a three-game series to Villanova, 4-2. With the loss, the Hoyas fall to 8-15 on the season and 0-9 in BIG EAST play, while the Wildcats improve to 15-14 with a 7-2 record in conference action.

"We had opportunities to win today. However, couldn't get the timely hit. And had 1 inning we weren't locked in for. It is always great to see the ladies come back after a hard two games." - Head Coach Karla Ross

How It Happened

  • It was a pitchers' duel early, with Dunn escaping first-inning trouble by striking out back-to-back batters to keep Villanova off the scoreboard. In the bottom half, the Hoyas went down 1-2-3.
  • Dunn continued to put up zeros with some help from her defense. With one out and one on in the top of the second, Nina Sarlo made a great leaping catch at the wall to rob an extra-base hit and keep the game scoreless.
  • The game remained scoreless until the top of the fifth, when Villanova scored four runs on three consecutive hits to take a 4-0 lead.
  • The Hoyas chipped away in the bottom half of the inning. A Park double, followed by a Pardini single, plated a run, cutting the deficit to 4-1.
  • After a scoreless sixth inning from Hager, the Hoyas responded again in the bottom of the sixth. A Strittmatter walk led to an RBI single from Park, cutting the deficit to 4-2 heading into the seventh.
  • The Blue & Gray were unable to mount a comeback, as Georgetown fell short to Villanova, 4-2, in the final game of the series.

Of Note
