WILLIAMSPORT, PA – The Lycoming College softball team opened up their home schedule and conference competition, Saturday afternoon, by hosting DeSales University for a doubleheader.

Dara Dietrich (Sr./Pitman, PA; Tri-Valley) and Katie Kresge (So./Lehighton, PA; Marian Catholic) also had hits for Lycoming.

Amanda Gery (Fr./Whitehall, PA; Whitehall) went the distance on the mound allowing three runs on 13 hits while striking out two batters.

In the second game, the Warriors scored eight runs in the bottom of the first en route to a 12-4 victory. Wydra drove in three runs on one hit and scored a pair of runs. Laurie Rooney (So./Audubon, NJ; Audubon) drove in two runs on two hits. Kresge, Alicia Madigan (Fr./Waverly, NY; Waverly), and Amy Curry (Fr./Fallentimber, PA; Moshannon Valley) each collected two hits as well.
