Softball team finishes season with .500 record
Albion College completed the softball season with a 17-17 overall record after dropping both ends of a doubleheader (1-0 and 10-1) to Michigan Intercollegiate Athletic Association rival Saint Mary’s College. Erin Giannotta didn’t allow an earned run for the second day in a row, scattering five hits in game one. Kaitlyn Downey collected hits in both games.

Albion managed two hits against Saint Mary’s pitcher Monica Palicki, a fifth-inning single by Molly Winowiecki and a seventh-inning single by Kaitlyn Downey.
