BOSTON, Mass. – The Regis College softball team battled but ultimately fell to Emmanuel College in Thursday's Great Northeast Athletic Conference (GNAC) doubleheader at Roberto Clemente Field.

Game One: 

• With just three hits, the Saints looked to break through in the top of the fourth, but a ground ball double play turned by Abby Erickson (Worcester, Mass.) stopped their momentum.

• Bianca Burke (Cambridge, Mass.) recorded the first hit for the Pride in the bottom of the fourth. A sac bunt moved her into scoring position, but the Saints' defense held strong.

• Regis found its spark in the sixth with an RBI single from Lynsey Kay (Bellingham, Mass.) to put the Pride on the board.

• Emmanuel answered in the bottom half of the inning as Taylor Chelak doubled with two outs to bring in Christyna Winstead, tying the game 1-1.

• A solo home run over the right-center fence by Marks to lead off the seventh gave Emmanuel the final edge, resulting in a 2-1 win for the Saints.

Game Two: 

• The Saints struck early with an RBI single from Mia Fernandes, then added four more runs in the opening inning to jump ahead 5-0.

• Emmanuel extended its lead with four more runs in the fifth, making it 9-0.

• Lexi Nichols (Granby, Conn.) sparked the Pride with a double to bring in a run and cut the deficit to seven, extending the game.

• The Saints responded with two more runs in the sixth, closing out the game with an 11-2 final in six innings.

Inside the Numbers:

• Lexi Nichols registered her third double of the season and went 2-for-2 in game two with two RBIs.

• Lynsey Kay recorded her fourth double of the season and now leads the team in total bases.
