NEW HAVEN, Conn.—The Anna Maria College softball team dropped both ends of a Great Northeast Athletic Conference (GNAC) doubleheader to the University of Saint Joseph on Thursday afternoon, falling 9-1 in five innings in game one and 2-0 in game two.
With today's results, the AMCATS fall to 3-13 overall and 1-7 in GNAC play, while the win boosts the Blue Jays to 9-7 overall.
St. Joseph 9, Anna Maria 1
Patti Sciglimpaglia pitched a five-inning no-hitter with 12 strikeouts and helped herself at the plate by batting 2-for-3 with three RBI and two runs to lead the Blue Jays to a 9-1 win.
Mary Sciglimpaglia and Emily Vigue also finished with two hits apiece for Saint Joseph. The Blue Jays scored two runs in the third, six in the fourth, and one more in the fifth.
The AMCATS took an early 1-0 lead in the top of the first inning as Amanda Lemire (Methuen, Mass.) walked, stole second, and scored an unearned run as Amy Clement (Townsend, Mass.) reached on an error by Saint Joseph's first baseman.
Nichole Lowe (Saugus, Mass.) took the loss in the circle, giving up 12 hits, five earned runs and a walk while striking out one.

Anna Maria would not go hitless in game two, as they tallied six hits but were unable to bat in any runs.
The Blue Jays scored their first run in the bottom of the first inning as Patti Sciglimpaglia doubled to center field and then scored on a single by Ashley Tucker.
AMCAT pitcher Angela Vousboukis (Swampscott, Mass.) shut down the Blue Jay's scoring from there, holding them to four scoreless innings until they tacked on an unearned run in the bottom of the sixth inning.
Vousboukis scattered seven runs and did not give out any free passes while also striking out two batters.
Shelby Tallman took the win for Saint Joseph, giving up six hits while striking out 11.
Anna Maria is idle for the next four days due to the Easter holiday. The team will return to action on Tuesday when they travel to take on Albertus Magnus College in a 3:00 p.m. GNAC doubleheader.
