ATLANTA – Georgia State (11-11) picked up just its second home loss of the season Wednesday, a 1-0 decision to Boston College (13-9). The Panthers begin conference play this weekend on the road at Troy.

Georgia State and Boston College combined for just one run on seven hits as GSU's Katie Worley and BC's Allyson Frei battled it out in the circle. Worley took a no-hitter into the fourth inning, but gave up a solo home run in the sixth inning and was hit with the loss. The senior went six full innings and allowed just that one run on two hits while striking out five Eagles.

Georgia State was looking for yet another seventh-inning rally as Mandy Blackwell led off the seventh with a single to left. Freshman Reagan Morgan singled to right field two batters later to give GSU runners on the corners with one out. Morgan then stole second to move the winning run into scoring position, but Boston College brought in a new pitcher who shut the door and ended the rally, stranding the tying run on third.

Next up for Georgia State is Sun Belt-foe Troy as the Panthers being conference play on the road in Troy, Ala.
