WASHINGTON, D.C. – The Providence College softball team split two games against the Georgetown Hoyas on Saturday, May 4 in Washington, D.C. The Friars dropped game one, 3-1, before rallying late to defeat the Hoyas in game two, 5-2. Providence is now 29-21 overall and 10-9 in the BIG EAST.

- Providence wasted no time taking a 1-0 advantage in the top of the first inning. Emma Lee (Orange, Calif.) hit her 10th double of the season before Skie Villani (Sugar Land, Texas) brought her in with an RBI single to left center field. Villani earned her seventh RBI of the season with the single.
- Savannah Jones of Georgetown knotted the game at one run apiece in the bottom of the first inning. Jones sent a solo home run over the left field fence. Providence and Georgetown were tied 1-1 at the end of the first inning.

- Daniela Alvarez (Santa Ana, Calif.) started in the circle and pitched 2.1 innings. She was the pitcher of record and received the loss after allowing three earned runs on six hits. She added four strike outs. Miranda Trinidad (La Habra, Calif.) relieved Alvarez and pitched the final 3.2 innings. Trinidad struck out two batters while only allowing one hit.
GAME TWO HIGHLIGHTS:
