GREENSBORO, N.C. - Bridgewater College's softball team led the host Guilford Quakers (12-3-1, 2-0 ODAC) through three innings in both games but couldn't hold the Quakers off late as the squad dropped a twinbill in Greensboro, N.C. Bridgewater (8-4, 0-2 ODAC) lost game one 3-2 before falling in the nightcap by a 6-4 score.

After being shut down in order in the first inning of game one, the Eagles got on the board in the second when junior Lauren Childress put a ball over the left field fence to give BC a 1-0 advantage through two.

Freshman Heather Jenkins mowed through the Quakers lineup in order to keep the game at a low-scoring affair until the freshman aided her own cause with a two-out single to put the Eagles up 2-0.

Jenkins remained perfect through the bottom of the fifth until a lead-off homerun from the Quakers brought the game to a 2-1 tally.

Guilford knotted the game up later in the inning off of a single to Jenkins before taking the lead off of a groundout with one away in the sixth.

Bridgewater applied some pressure in the seventh with a leadoff single and a sacrifice bunt to place Kristen Combs at second with one away, but the Eagles would strike out and fly out to end the ball game, giving Guilford a 3-2 victory.

Jenkins and Childress were each 1-for-3 with a run driven in while designated player Emily Morris was 2-for-3 at the plate.

Jenkins had a perfect game brewing through five innings before allowing three runs to record the loss. The freshman allowed the three runs on four hits while striking out a trio of Quakers batters.

Charissa Duncan led the way for the Quakers at the plate with a 1-for-2 outing with her lone hit coming in the sixth off of a lead-off homer.

Bowser picked up the win, allowing two runs across seven innings of work while striking out four.

Game two saw the Eagles tally a run in each of the first three innings to jump out to a 3-0 lead after three frames.

Bridgewater got on the board in the first when a Cassie Thompson sacrifice fly to left field plated shortstop Hillary Rees to put the Eagles up 1-0.

In the top of the second, Bridgewater added to its lead when a Sarah Heretick blast to center field put the Eagles ahead by a 2-0 tally.

Childress added another insurance run for the Eagles in the third when her single through the left side scored Rees to give BC a 3-0 advantage.

Following a scoreless fifth inning, the Eagles added an additional run when a double from freshman Aven Thomas rounded Combs from second to put Bridgewater up 4-2.

Guilford immediately responded in the home half of the sixth with four runs off of five hits to take the lead at a 6-4 tally, which is where the game would end as the Eagles left the bases loaded in the top of the seventh.

Senior Ashley Gills tossed three no-hit innings for the Eagles before being replaced in the fourth by Lindsay Lam. Lam recorded the loss, allowing four runs on six hits.

At the plate, Combs led the way with a 2-for-2 game, while Childress chipped in a 2-for-4 outing with a double and a RBI.

Bowser picked up the win in relief in game two, tossing 4.2 innings of work, allowing one run off of five Bridgewater hits.
