WALTHAM, MA. – No. 25 Pace softball continued their dominant stretch in the season, sweeping Bentley University in both games of their doubleheader, winning 1-0 and then 2-0.

Game One

• In the opening game of the double bill, both sides remained scoreless through the fifth inning as Gisselle Garcia shut down the Falcon's hitting. The low-scoring affair was decided by one run, which eventually came in the top half of the sixth for the Blue and Gold.
