CONWAY, S.C. – Presbyterian College softball was unable to overcome three runs in the first inning to fall 3-0 to Coastal Carolina on Sunday afternoon.  PC was held to just four hits while committing three errors in the game.

PC (18-24, 2-13 BSC) put itself in an early hole when a pair of leadoff walks came around to score along on a strange play where a single to center field was misplayed and then thrown away.  The pair of errors allowed Diagle to get around and score on the play.  The run would be the final to cross the plate for the day.

Coastal Carolina (23-25, 4-8 BSC) posted eight hits in the game to take the win and series victory for the Chanticleers. 

The Blue Hose would not go away quietly though, putting seven runners into scoring position and having two retired attempting to score.  Taylor Staten, Leslie Hensley, Mary Ellen Morris and Lindsey Trombley recorded hits while PC was assisted by a trio of Coastal errors. 

Hensley got the start on the mound and was given the loss to fall to 8-11 on the year.  She went four innings and gave up five hits while striking out two batters.  Coastal's Fredrick earned the win to go to 13-14 on the season.

The Blue Hose will break for final exams this week before returning to the field this weekend for a three-game set against Liberty.  The series starts on Saturday with a doubleheader before concluding with a Sunday finale.
