LA JOLLA, Calif. -- The Northern Colorado softball team earned its second-straight win, defeating Stonehill College, 4-2, on Sunday afternoon. The Bears are now 2-3 to start the season having completed the La Jolla Invitational.

After the Bears shutout Stonehill on Saturday, the Skyhawks got on the board first with a two run homer in the top of the third.

Northern Colorado then responded in the fourth as Alexsi Barashkoff hit a sac fly to drive home Paola Villegas to get UNC on the board.

UNC then added three more runs in the sixth to take the 4-2 lead. Angelique Navarro singled to score Carson Fischer, before Lauren Strathearn drove home Ella Gonzales with a single of her own.

Sophomore Isabelle DiNapoli pitched the complete game, giving up just one earned run on two hits, while striking out nine batters.

ACCORDING TO COACH PENDELTON-HELM
"It was great to finish the weekend with a win. Isabelle pitched a great game and Angelique stepped up with a clutch hit to put us ahead. We had a set of goals for the weekend and overall we met each one. We showed great energy all weekend and we just need to continue to build and grow each week."
