PATCHOGUE, N.Y. - The Purchase College softball team lost a pair of contests Sunday afternoon, falling to St. Joseph's College-Brooklyn by the scores of 13-0 and 11-3.

With the results, the Panthers are now 0-16 overall and 0-12 in the Skyline Conference. Meanwhile, the Bears improved to 12-3 and 9-3, respectively. 

In game one, the hosts struck early with a run in the bottom of the first. Things remained tight between the two teams until the third frame, when the Bears busted the game wide open with nine runs in the inning.

St. Joseph's-Brooklyn then added three more runs in the fourth to seal the shutout victory over Purchase.

In the loss, the Panthers finished with four hits courtesy of Alexandria Perez (JR/Bronx, NY), Kelly Agostini (SR/Centereach, NY), Julia Marsala (FR/Shoreham, NY) and Hannah Cronin (FR/Granby, CT).
