The Bluffton University softball team saw its four-game winning streak to start the season come to an end with a pair of losses to Alvernia and Simpson on Tuesday, March 5, 2013.

Alvernia put up two unearned runs in the third inning of game one, marking the first time this season that Bluffton trailed in a game.
