The Canisius College softball team went 1-1 on the final day of the Marina International Hotel Classic, with the Golden Griffins knocking off Northern Colorado 2-0 before falling to the host Loyola Marymount Lions 6-4 in the nightcap. The Griffs are now 9-4 on the season, with the loss to Loyola Marymount ending the team's six-game winning streak.

In the first game, Canisius posted its 2-0 win over Northern Colorado on Caroline Main's one-hitter and on the power of the long-ball. Main fanned six and saw her no-hit bid come to an end when Northern Colorado junior Erin Geddis led off the sixth inning with a base hit through the left side of the infield. Main earned her fourth win of the season in the circle, as she allowed only two Northern Colorado base runners to reach third base. With one out in the bottom of the first, sophomore Katie Medina drilled her first homer of the season over the fence in right to put the Blue and Gold on the scoreboard. The Griffs added an insurance run in the sixth after sophomore Stephanie Pfentner hit her third homer of the season, a solo shot, over the wall in left center with two outs in the frame. Canisius wrapped up the game with six hits.

In the second game of the day, Loyola Marymount broke open a tied game with a four-run fifth inning. The Blue and Gold took a 1-0 lead in the second inning after an RBI-single by Lauren Falzone, but the Lions scored two runs in the home half of the third to take a 2-1 lead. Canisius knotted the game at 2-2 in the top half of the fifth with an RBI-single off the bat of junior Lizzy Gatto. From there, Loyola Marymount scored four times in the fifth to take a 6-2 lead, with the key hit coming from Danielle Smith, who drove in two runs with a single down the right field line off losing pitcher Amanda Baun, who gave up six runs on nine hits while striking out three and walking six.

The Griffs racked up 13 hits in the loss to Loyola Marymount and ended up leaving nine on base. Six Canisius hitters had multi-hit games, with Medina posting three hits and two runs scored and Katie Lancellotti added a pair of doubles to the losing cause.

Canisius will return to action Tuesday, March 22, as the team takes on UC Riverside in a non-conference doubleheader. First pitch at Riverside's Harrison Field is set for 4 p.m., eastern time.
