Bulldogs Break Even in Beantown

BOSTON, Mass. – The Yale softball team split a pair of games against Boston University with a 13-0 loss and a 2-1 victory, at the BU Softball Field. The Bulldogs improved to 6-13 overall, while the Terriers moved to 20-7.
 
Game 1: Boston University 13, Yale 0 (5 innings)
  • BU picked up five runs in the second inning off three hits.
  • The Terriers recorded seven runs in the third inning on five hits.
  • The home side capped the scoring in the fourth inning with a single run.
 
Game 2: Yale 2, Boston 1
  • Yale rebounded in game two behind a tight defensive effort.
  • Nicole Conway had a strong start in the circle for the Bulldogs, retiring the first nine BU batters through three innings.
  • Sam Goodcase got things rolling for the Bulldogs with a single to center field in the third inning. In the next at bat, Carolyn Skotz knocked a single up the middle.
  • Willa Ferrer took her turn at the plate, and with two outs, ripped a single up the middle to score both Goodcase and Skotz.
  • It wasn't until the bottom of the sixth inning that BU gained some momentum off the bats. A lead-off single to left field gave the Terriers a baserunner with the tying run at the plate. Boston snagged a run in that at bat with a single to right center. The Bulldogs' defense shut them down, retiring the next three batters to keep the lead.
  • Seventh inning action saw Conway and the Yale defense shut down Boston's offense to secure the victory.
 
Notes
  • This was Yale's first victory over BU since 1996. That game saw the Bulldogs win 3-1 on April 12, 1996, in Boston.
  • The Terriers currently sit atop the Patriot League.
  • Nicole Conway picked up her third win of the season in the circle.
  • It was also Conway's second complete game of the year.
