Lafayette got on the board first with two runs in the second inning. Maddy Allen drove in Kerry Griffin, while Emily Noel scored Kristin Garganio.

The lead was cut to one in the top of the sixth when Koltz scored on an RBI ground out by Nicole DiVirgilio (Aston, Pa.). The inning was ended as Malloy was thrown out at home on a ground ball by Lindsay Durant (Martinsville, N.J.).

Koltz took the loss in the circle for Marist as she dropped to 1-4 in her rookie season. She gave up nine hits three runs, all of which were earned and struck out one in six innings of work.
