PROVIDENCE, R.I.-  The Providence College softball team dropped a hard-fought 1-0 decision to Villanova on Saturday, April 23 on Glay Field. The Friars fall to 23-16 and 9-8 in BIG EAST play with the loss.
 
GAME NOTES
- The teams battled through three scoreless innings to open the game.
- Villanova opened the scoring in the top of the fourth on Megan Kern's solo home run.
- Micaela Abbatine's (Warwick, N.Y.) diving catch in the top of the seventh preserved the one-run deficit.
- Singles by Jacque Harrington (Bedford, N.H.) and Lea Kosinski (Whitehouse Station, N.J.) tried to jump-start a rally in the bottom of the seventh, but the Friars couldn't push across the equalizer. Kosinski finished the day at 3-for-4.
- Tori Grifone (Sussex, N.J.) went the distance, allowing just one run on two hits while striking out 11 Wildcats.
