Bloomsburg's Amber Cowher was the tough luck loser allowing just five hits and no walks, while striking out seven.
In the Huskies' second game of the day, Bloomsburg lost to Cal (PA), 1-0. The Vulcans scored the game's only run in the top of the sixth when Becky Mezyk singled and later scored on a hit by Maggie Fricko.
