ROCKVILLE CENTRE, N.Y. – The Holy Family University softball team led 4-0 in the first game of a doubleheader at Molloy on Wednesday, only for the Lions to answer with a four-run sixth in an eventual 4-6 victory.
Molloy then jumped out to a 0-7 advantage after two innings in the nightcap to ultimately win 3-8.

- Hoban then followed a Hobel walk with her homer to double the advantage once more
- Moore, who started in the circle, held Molloy scoreless for the first three, but the Lions took advantage of an error to get on the board in the fourth
- After the Tigers stranded two in scoring position in the fifth, Molloy used a two-out double cut the deficit in the half in the bottom-half
