BRONX, NY - Taking on their second-to-last home opponent of the season, the Yeshiva softball team fell to The College at Old Westbury, dropping a doubleheader to the Panthers by scores of 16-0 and 17-0 on Monday, Apr. 15.
 
Offensively, the Maccabees were led by the bat of Kyra Appel, with the senior utility player smacking two hits in game two.
 
With the losses, the Macs are now 0-26, 0-14 in conference play.
 
HOW IT HAPPENED - Game 1 (L, 16-0)

• Yeshiva struggled in game one, failing to record a baserunner through five innings.
   
• YU's defense was not able to limit Old Westbury in the same way, conceding seven runs in the first inning, four in the second, four in the third and one in the fourth.

 
HOW IT HAPPENED - Game 2 (L, 17-0)

• The Maccabee attack proved far more effective in game two, recording two hits.
   
• One of those hits set up YU's best chance to score. After singling to center field, Appel advanced to second when Talia Finn drew a walk, putting herself in prime position to round home. Unfortunately, both runners were left stranded following a Jordyn Guritzky strikeout.
