Sophomore Kiana Robinson (Hamden, Conn.) had two hits, and freshman Madison D'Amato (Warwick, R.I.) also drove in a run for UB in game one.
In game two, the Purple Knights got off to a quick start scoring two runs in the top of the first on doubles by Yates and junior Samantha Schiebe (Monroe, Conn.), but the hosts quickly responded with four runs in the bottom of the first to take a lead which they never relinquished.
