Phoenix, AZ – Junior first baseman Carly Lesko (New Milford, NJ./New Milford) went 2-for-4 with two home runs and four RBI in game one, but the UMBC Softball team couldn't complete the comeback as they dropped a 10-6 decision to Loyola Marymount in the GCU Kickoff Tournament at Stapleton-Pierson Stadium on the campus of Grand Canyon University on Friday morning.
In the second game, the Retrievers were no-hit by the host Antelopes in an 18-0, five-inning loss.
Game 1
Game 2
The second game of the day followed a similar script to the first, as Grand Canyon (1-0) put up nine in the first inning knocking sophomore Kim Puccio (Sparta, N.J./Sparta) out of the game after a third of an inning and handing her the loss.
UMBC returns to action tomorrow morning with an 11 a.m. rematch with Loyola Marymount, followed immediately by a game against Grand Canyon.
