Softball falls to Bucknell Sunday

LEWISBURG, Pa. – The Holy Cross softball team was defeated by Patriot League opponent Bucknell 3-1 Sunday afternoon on Becker Field.

The loss was the 35th overall on the year for the Crusaders and 14th in league play. The Bison move to 18-25 and level their conference record at 9-9.

STARTING IN THE CIRCLE:
  • Madison Roukey: W, (10-11), complete game, seven hits allowed, earned run, zero walks, five strikeouts.
  • Sophomore Sophia Roncone: L, (5-18), complete game, seven hits allowed, three earned runs, two walks, two strikeouts.
STEPPING TO THE PLATE: HOW IT HAPPENED:
  • Bucknell got two runs in the home half of the first via an infield single to second and a sacrifice bunt for the early 2-0 edge.
  • Holy Cross threatened in the top of the third when Jensen and sophomore Anna Brait singled to put runners at first and second. Bucknell thwarted the Crusader scoring threat.
  • The Bison tacked on an insurance run in the sixth via a solo home run to push the lead to 3-0.
  • In the seventh the Crusaders attempted a rally with a Thibault and Pietrzak single. With two outs, Jensen ripped an RBI base knock to center plating a run. The last batter of the game flew out as Holy Cross left two runners on base.
DUE UP:
