PHILADELPHIA – Freshman Audrey LaBouliere registered a career high four RBIs, however the La Salle softball team (5-16) couldn't sustain a seventh inning comeback against Villanova (16-15) on Wednesday afternoon. The Wildcats claimed the win, 8-7.

  • Nova responded with three runs in the sixth and one in the seventh to take an 8-6 lead heading into the final at bats for the home squad.
