NEW PALTZ, NY -- Junior catcher Nina Cervini had two hits and three RBIs to lead the Union College softball team to an 8-5 softball win at SUNY New Paltz Tuesday at Mary Gray Deane Field.

In the last of the ninth, with Melissa Kump placed on second with the extra inning rule, Gillian Davidoff bunted to advance Kump. But a throwing error led to the unearned run and the home team's win.
