The Lehman College softball team (2-11 Overall, 0-4 CUNYAC) dropped a conference doubleheader on Monday afternoon, losing two games to the Bearcats of Baruch College (8-12 Overall, 4-0 CUNYAC) by scores of 12-0 and 12-4 at the CSI Softball Complex in Staten Island, New York. The losses served as the seventh and eighth straight defeats for the Lightning.
In game one of the afternoon, Baruch College's Andrea Tepfer pitched a five-inning, complete game no-hitter, striking out 11 batters in the process. The only baserunners that the hurler allowed were because of a pair of errors in the top of the fifth inning, as Luz Garcia reached on an error by the pitcher, and that was followed by Fanny Souffront reaching via an error by Bearcat third baseman Cristina Arce. Racine Brown took the loss for the Lightning.
