The bottom of the fourth inning became the difference as the Wildcats added three insurance runs. Villanova’s Brittany Husk singled to left field to drive in one run while a GU error in the outfield allowed VU to tack on two more runs for a 4-0 lead.
The Hoyas would get one run back in the top of the seventh inning as senior Grace Appelbe (Phoenix, Ariz./Xavier College Prep) hit a solo homerun, her second of the season, to cut the Villanova lead to 4-1.
