BURLINGTON, N.C. - Cameron Cooper and Katie Allison both went 2-for-3 against the number 2 seed King, but the Belmont Abbey softball team closed its season with a 7-1 loss.  The Crusaders finish the year with a 21-22 record.  King improves to 30-20.

How it Happened

• Kelkcee Fulton scored the lone Crusader run of the day off a single down the left field line by Morgan Smith in the third inning
• The Crusaders threatened again in the seventh, when a single by Hailey Gass put runners on second and third, with just one out.  Belmont Abbey, however, was unable to bring in another run, and King took the 7-1 win
• Cooper and Allison led the Crusaders' offensive efforts, going 2-for-3
• Ivorie Maltby threw four strikeouts in three innings, and only gave up one run
