RIVERDALE, N.Y. – The Quinnipiac softball team defeated Manhattan in both games of its doubleheader on Tuesday afternoon to move to 16-22 on the year.

In game one, neither team could score until Sofia Vega broke the scoreless tie with a three-run homerun to center field. QU followed that up with a run in the fifth from Kennedy Demott single and three runs in the seventh on doubles from Ally Hochstadter and Riley Potter. Manhattan would get four back in the seventh but it wouldn't be enough as QU held onto win 7-4.
