PEPPER PIKE, Ohio -- #Charisse Colston# set the program record for homeruns by belting her 13th homerun of the season, which also proved to be the game winner in the first half of Wednesday afternoon's twin bill, and then homered again in game two as the Falcons went on to split with Ursuline, taking game one, 5-3, but dropping the second contest, 4-3. (Gm-1 | Gm-2)

Notre Dame (11-17, 4-2) has now won eight out of their last 11 games, and with the split, Ursuline (5-12, 3-5), snapped a seven game losing streak against the Falcons.

Colston's two-run shot came in the seventh inning of game one, to snap a 3-3 tie, marking her 11th homer in her last 13 games. Notre Dame scored the first three runs of the contest, before the Arrows rallied and scored three runs, all with two outs to tie the game in the bottom of the sixth inning.

The Arrows plated a pair of runs in the first inning of game two, taking the early advantage. Notre Dame responded in the top of the third, as Colston smashed her second homerun of the afternoon to cut the deficit in half, and #Mallory Harder# knocked in the tying run on a base hit to left field. Shortly after Harder's game tying single, #Michelle Dykes# roped a two out single to center field, plating Harder to give the Falcons the lead.

Ursuline battled back, scoring single runs over the next two innings to tie the game. With the contest tied at 3-3, in the bottom of the seventh inning, Elizabeth Maher drove in the game winning run in the inning on a base hit to center field.
