WILLIAMSPORT, Pa.—Lycoming’s softball team (1-13, 0-4) lost both ends of a non-conference doubleheader to the University of Scranton (16-4) on Thursday. The score of the opener was 6-0 and the second game ended 17-0 after five innings.

Lady Warrior senior Nicole Rhodes (Julian, Pa.) took the loss in the first game. She held the Lady Royals scoreless through two innings, but gave up two runs in the third, fifth and seventh frames.

In the second game, Scranton exploded for seven runs in the first inning and added six runs in the fifth to seal Lycoming’s fate. Junior Marissa Hastings’ (Old Forge, Pa.) single in the fifth was the Lady Warriors’ only hit.

Lycoming travels to Elizabethtown on Saturday, April 12 and Albright on Monday, April 14, before hosting Lebanon Valley on Saturday, April 19. All three doubleheaders are conference match-ups.
