In their first conference game, the Bulldogs were unable to get their offense going against Presbyterian. With all the scoring occurring in the top of the fifth, Presbyterian won 4-0.
Christine Murray had a no-hitter through the fourth inning for Gardner-Webb before the wheels fell off.
"When we get pitching we haven't got hitting, and when we've gotten hitting we haven't gotten pitching. "We need to just get our pitching and our hitting on the same page and we'll be fine," said Head Coach Tom Cole.
"We have to score runs. The fact that we didn't score runs means that even if we played a perfect game we wouldn't have won it."
The Bulldogs struggled from the plate all day as Kelsey Witter and Christa Fullwood even finished 2 of 3.
The only other base runner was Adrienne Smith, who was hit by a pitch. All of their hits were singles.
Murray struck out six and allowed only five hits in a complete game, but picked up the loss.
The Bulldogs played a non-conference home double header against Appalachian State Tuesday but they were not complete when the paper went to press.
They play another double header Saturday against conference foe Radford before completing the series on Sunday. The start time on Saturday will be 1 p.m. while the Sunday game will start at 2 p.m.
