Monks Close Out Season with Loss to Albertus Magnus

NASHUA, N.H. –The Saint Joseph’s College of Maine softball team wrapped up its 2025 season on Friday night with an 18-10 loss to Albertus Magnus College in GNAC Tournament Pod Play at Raider Diamond.

Saint Joseph’s got off to a fast start, jumping ahead 2-0 in the first inning thanks to aggressive running on the bases and a couple of defensive miscues by Albertus Magnus. The Falcons quickly turned the tide in the second inning, scoring four runs to take a lead they never gave back to the Monks.

Albertus added three more in the third and later put the game out of reach with a big eight-run seventh inning.

Down by a wide margin in their final at-bat, the Monks didn’t go quietly. They rallied for four runs in the bottom of the seventh, highlighted by a three-run homer off the bat of Sadie Tirrell (Naples, ME).

Sadie Tirrell paced the Monks at the plate, going 2-for-4 with a home run, four RBIs, and two runs scored. Monks catcher Chantelle Bouchard (Biddeford, ME) also went deep, finishing 2-for-5 with an RBI. Shortstop Charlotte Cloutier (Lewiston, ME) added two hits and drove in a pai of runs for the Monks.

Albertus Magnus was powered by Barreiro’s 3-for-4, five-RBI performance. Schwipper added three hits and two RBIs, and Rubino capped the scoring with a three-run homer in the seventh. Jabs picked up the win for the Falcons.
