PURCHASE, NY - Taking on a conference foe, the Yeshiva softball team dropped a double header at Purchase College, falling to the Panthers by scores of 13-1 and 12-0 on Wednesday, Apr. 11.
 
The Maccabees' lone run came in game one, when Kyra Appel brought Tova Hakakian home.
 
With the losses, the Macs are now 0-22, 0-12 in conference play.
 
HOW IT HAPPENED - Game 1 (L, 13-1)

• The Macs struck first in game one, taking an early lead in the top of the first inning. After drawing a walk, Hakakian took full advantage of her speed as well as a well-placed double by Appel to come sprinting home, jumping Yeshiva out in front, 1-0.
   
• YU's lead would not last however, as the Maccabees conceded one run in the bottom of the first, three in the second, five in the third, and four in the fourth.

 
MAC LEADERS

• Runs: Hakakian (1)
• Hits: Appel (1), Glantz (1)
• RBIs: Appel (1)

 
HOW IT HAPPENED - Game 2 (L, 12-0)

• Unable to recapture the early success of game one, the Maccabee offense struggled in game two, unable to register a hit through five innings.
   
• Unfortunately, the Macs' defensive unit did not fare much better, allowing nine runs in the first and three in the second.
   
• YU were not without their chances to put up points, with Beth Glantz drawing a walk in the third inning, and then advancing to second on a wild pitch. However, she would be left stranded following a Maccabee strikeout.

 
UP NEXT
Continuing with road conference play, the Macs will travel out to The College at Old Westbury on Friday, Apr. 12 at 10:00 AM/12:00 PM.
