COLLEGEVILLE, Pa. – The Haverford College softball team dropped a pair of games, 2-1 and 4-0, to league leader Ursinus College Thursday afternoon in Centennial Conference action.

Game 1 Starter Cassandra Searls had a strong outing in the pitcher's circle for Haverford (14-16, 6-8 CC) holding Ursinus (25-5, 13-1 CC) to one run on five hits and a pair of walks through six innings of work, but the Bears got a leadoff triple from Caitlin Higgins in the bottom of the seventh followed by a walk-off single to center field from Allison Pfrommer to plate the winning run and spoil Searls' solid effort.

The Fords got on the board first when Beth Davis reached safely on an error to start the fourth inning then eventually came around to score on Laura Iwanyk's sacrifice fly to center.

That was the only run Haverford would be able to produce off Lauren Macedonia-Davis, though, as the Bears' starter limited the Fords to just two hits — a single by Iwanyk in the second and a bunt single by Candice Smith in the sixth — without a walk over seven innings to earn the win.

Macedonia-Davis took to the circle for the Bears in Game 2 as well and held Haverford to just one hit and a walk in her team's 4-0 win. She also recorded her 1,000th career strikeout during the game.

Searls led off the Fords' fourth inning with a single up the middle but that would be it for Haverford at the plate in the loss.

Ursinus pushed one run across in the first, added an unearned run in the fourth off Fords starter Maggie Cronin, then tacked on two more in the sixth off Lisa Karmel who came on in relief of Cronin to start the fifth inning.

Thursday's losses takes Haverford's playoff fate out of its own hands entering the final weekend of the regular season. The host Fords must sweep visiting Swarthmore College Saturday afternoon and hope for help from other teams to be able to move on to the Centennial postseason playoffs.
