Short Story: The University at Albany softball team completed a three-game sweep of America East Rival Hartford after winning both games of Saturday's doubleheader. Strong pitching got the job done for UAlbany, with Briana Garrett and Wendi Hammond combining to allow only two runs all afternoon. After yesterday's 1-0 win in twelve innings, the bats came alive in both games as the Great Danes totaled 11 runs on 18 hits.

• Katie Falotico, Madison Petrella, Chloe Lewis and Lové Drumgole all finished with two hits each.
• Lewis, Drumgole and Morgan Petty all led the way with two RBIs each. Petty was the catalyst of the scoring run for the Great Danes in the first with a two-run homerun to left field.

Driver then put the Great Danes up 3-0 off of a fielder's choice with the bases loaded, scoring Petrella. Lewis followed her the next at bat, sending a single up the middle to score Mitros from second to make it 4-0. The final run of the inning came off the bat of Drumgole, sending another ball up the middle to score Driver.

• UAlbany was able to grab the first run of the game after Petty reached on an error from Hartford's right fielder. Falotico scored to put the Great Danes up one with the unearned run.
• Run number two crossed the plate for UAlbany in the fourth. Garrett hit a soft ground ball to the pitcher, who hesitated, and was not in time for the play at the plate with Barkevich scoring from third.  
• Hartford got on the board in the fifth inning off of an RBI single from Rocheleau.
