MONTEVALLO, Ala. – The Montevallo softball team dropped a pair of games to No. 18 Mississippi College in the final home series of the regular season. 
 
GAME ONE
In a low-scoring opening game, the Falcons fell 3-1 after MC scored a pair of runs late.
 
With Taylor Lloyd getting the starting nod in the circle, Montevallo allowed just two baserunners through the first three innings to blank the Lady Choctaws heading into the bottom of the third. 
 
A Georgia Hughes walk followed by an Ellie Derrick single and another walk from Taylor Robinson loaded the bases. With a sacrifice fly, Alisha Lanyon drove in the first run of the day to give Montevallo a 1-0 lead after three. 
 
Lloyd held Mississippi College scoreless through the next two innings while Montevallo's offense failed to add on to the lead. 
 
MC tied the game with a run in the sixth and, after a quick Falcon at-bat, took the lead, 3-1 with a two-run seventh. 
 
Montevallo managed to put two runners on in the bottom of the seventh, but three-straight outs left the Falcons with a game one loss.
