The BG women's softball team is still looking for its first win after dropping four games at the War Eagle Classic in Auburn, Ala.
With the Falcons' loss, the team drops to 0-9 on the season, after posting similar results in its previous tournament.
Despite a disappointing weekend, BG was able to hold a strong Tennessee Tech team, who made a tournament run to the Sweet Sixteen last year, to one run.
On the mound, Hayley Weimer and Emily Gouge turned in solid performances, holding the Golden Eagles scoreless for 6.2 innings, accounting for nine strikeouts between the duo.
However, BG was unable to produce run support to complement the dynamic pitching performance.
Another heartbreaker for the team came with a 6-5 loss to Lipscomb in an offensive battle, which fell in favor of the Lady Bison.
Leading the way offensively for the Falcons in the game was Allison Vallas, who went 3-for-3, knocking a triple off the fence and driving in three runs.
Freshman Haleigh Bielstein and Katelynn Boso also made big contributions at the plate as Bielstein recorded her first collegiate RBI and Boso went 2-of-3 with a single and a double.
Georgia Southern and Auburn handed BG its other two losses, by scores of 3-1 and 7-0.
