DAVIS, CA – Four Broncs had a hit, but the Rider University softball team fell to UC Davis, 13-0, Sunday afternoon to close out the Capital Classic. With the loss, the Broncs fall to 1-16, while the Aggies are now 22-5.

They'd tack on five more in the second, two in the third and three in the fourth to build their 13-0 lead.

Gabby Bram (Jackson, NJ/Red Bank Catholic) and Kelsey Marigliano (Seaford, NY/Plainledge) each reached on singles in the third to mount the Broncs' greatest threat. But Aggies starting pitcher Sara Cardona pitched a complete-game shutout, limiting Rider to four hits on the afternoon.
