ROCHESTER, NY -- Junior outfielder Rebecca Allen hit a walk off single to left in the bottom of the eighth to lift St. Lawrence University to a 1-0 win over Union College in the 2013 Liberty League Softball Championship Tournament at the University of Rochester's Southside Field Saturday morning.

Kyle Plimpton allowed just one hit for the Saints, and struck out 15 while walking just two. She did not allow a base runner past second.
