The St. Thomas Aquinas softball team beat Chestnut Hill, 6-2 and 6-1 in today's double header.  Angela Squillini went 2-for-6 with a run and 4 RBI's.  Freshmen Maura Power and Samantha Welsh picked up their second career wins for the Lady Spartans.

In game two, Welsh had a career high 12 strike outs giving up one hit and one run.  The rookie also had a good day at the plate, going 2-for-2 including an RBI-single in the third.  Junior Alyssa Cataldo went 3-for-3 with a run and an RBI in the second game and went 4-for-5 overall for the day. 

Earlier in the day, the Lady Spartans put together two runs in the third and fourth to break open a 1-1 tie.  Cataldo added an RBI single in the fifth to give STAC a 6-1 advantage.  The Griffins added a run in the sixth but it was too little too late as the Lady Spartans picked up the win.
