Senior Mara Sczecienski extended her hitting streak to 16 games as the University of Hartford softball team fell to Yale Wednesday, 11-1, in five innings.

After reaching via error in the first inning, the second baseman singled with two outs in the third inning for her streak extending knock.

Hartford took the lead in the top of the first inning as sophomore Olivia Wolk hit a solo home run. The Hawks had a chance to put a bigger number on the board in the first as Emily Coffey followed Wolk's bomb with a walk, then Sczecienski reached on an error and Kelsey Galevich singled to load the bases. But a double play and strikeout ended the threat.

Senior Caylee English was rolling for three innings, but the Bulldogs finally got to her in the fourth as they put five runs on the board. Yale added six runs in the fifth against senior Lauren Card to cap the scoring.

Four Hawks – Wolk, Coffey, Sczecienski, and Galevich – recorded hits in the game.

Hartford (11-13) travels to Simmons noon Saturday for a doubleheader.
