DAVIS, Calif. – The Seton Hall softball team (9-9-1) dropped a pair of one-run decisions in its final day of play at the Aggie Invitational on Saturday. The Hall fell by a score of 6-5 to Iowa State in game one of the day before a 1-0 setback in a pitcher's duel with UMass to close the tournament. The two contests marked the conclusion of an 11-game spring break trip for the Pirates.

The two narrow setbacks dropped the Pirates to 1-4 in the Aggie Invitational hosted by UC Davis, with the four losses coming by a combined five runs. For the entirety of the spring break trip the Pirates finished 3-7-1.

The Hall answered in the bottom of the fifth, scoring three runs on a Sara Foster (Long Beach, Calif.) RBI double and a two-run home run from Lauren Fischer (Robbinsville, N.J.)
The Pirates held a 4-2 lead going into the final inning, but ISU struck four four runs in the top of the seventh to take a two-run lead
