TAMPA, Fla. – The Saint Joseph's softball team opened its run at the USF Invitational on Thursday, being upended, 6-2 by the host South Florida Bulls.

  • Julia Shearer and Gianna Muhaw each had two hits. Shearer had an RBI.
  • Grace Brown went 1-for-4 and now has hits in six of her first seven career games.
  • Shearer delivered her first complete game in a St. Joe's uniform in the circle. After a tough first inning, she allowed two runs in her final five frames, striking out six in the contest.
