WILLIAMSPORT, PA – The Lycoming College softball team took a break from conference play, Wednesday afternoon, to host Juniata College for a doubleheader.

Adrienne Wydra (Sr./Ashland, PA; North Schuylkill) was 4-for-4 in the game and scored three runs. Marianne Simpson (Fr./Camp Hill, PA; Camp Hill) collected two hits and two RBI. Amanda Gery (Fr./Whitehall, PA; Whitehall) suffered the loss on the mound despite striking out seven batters.

In the second game, Lycoming again played even with Juniata through six innings but the Eagles exploded for eight runs in their final two at-bats to cruise to an 11-4 win. Amy Curry (Fr./Fallentimber, PA; Moshannon Valley) led the Warriors’ offense with a pair of hits and two RBI. Wydra also collected two hits, while scoring a run and driving in another. Crystal Hampton (So./Catawissa, PA; Southern Columbia) took the loss on the mound.
