San Antonio, TX - The No. 23 Hope International University softball team's (37-17) season came to an end as they fell 2-0 to the No. 1 Our Lady of the Lake Saints on Wednesday afternoon in the NAIA Opening Round at St. Mary's University Softball Stadium in San Antonio, TX.

Allie Puente (27-14) took the loss allowing just two runs on five hits while walking three and striking out two over 6 innings. Samantha Villanueva led the Royals offense going 2-for-3.

Once again it was a pitcher's duel between the top two teams in the San Antonio bracket. The Royals had an opportunity in the top of the first as they had two infield singles but they were unable to convert as the game remained scoreless. Allie Puente meanwhile held the top ranked Saints off the board through the first four innings but they would eventually break through with two in the bottom of the fifth to take a 2-0 lead.

The Royals didn't give up as they got back to back one out singles in the top of the sixth but they were unable to turn that into runs as they continued to trail. Allie held the Saints at bay in the bottom of the sixth but the Royals were unable to take advantage as they fell 2-0 falling to the Saints for the second year in a row in the opening round.
