AMHERST, Mass. — The University of Massachusetts softball team (18-28) fell to Boston University (41-13) 3-1 in an in-state battle on Sortino Field. Despite clutch pitching from Hannah Streicher, the Minutewomen offense mustered just three hits in the contest.

Boston University opened the scoring in the top of the second inning, as the first four batters of the inning reached base, scoring two runs. With two runners in scoring position, Terriers' Kieren McHugh drew a walk to load the bases with no outs. Streicher was able to retire the side, forcing a flyout, fielders choice at home and a groundout to herself to strand all three runners and limit the damage to just 2-0.
Massachusetts struck right back with a run in the bottom of the second. Woodworth lined a one-out single through the right side of the infield, and Walsh walked in the following at bat to put two runners on. Colucci singled through the middle of the infield to score Woodworth and bring the contest to 2-1.
The Terriers added another run in the top of the fourth. Three consecutive singles to lead off the inning plated one, bringing the score to 3-1. Streicher again went on to retired the next three batters to limit the damage.
