AMHERST, MASS. -- Massachusetts (7-19, 3-3 A-10) dropped its series finale, 12-4, to Fordham (12-17-1, 3-3) on a brisk Sunday afternoon at Sortino Field.
 
The Minutewomen battled, recording eight hits on the day but could not keep the Rams off the scoreboard as they tallied 12 runs on the afternoon. Junior Julianne Bolton earned her 12th start of the season, pitching 2.1 innings in the circle before giving way to Natalee Horton in relief. Horton pitched 4.2 innings, striking out six batters on 109 total pitches. Senior Bella Pantoja was the Massachusetts' main catalyst at the plate, going 3-for-4 including an RBI single in the bottom of the third inning. Senior Chloe Whittier hit her second home run of the weekend, blasting a ball over the left field fence in the bottom of the sixth inning.
 
Notable Numbers 
  • 2: Whittier hit her second home run of the series and eighth of her career.
