LYCOMING SOFTBALL SWEEPS FDU-MADISON

MADISON, NJ - The Lycoming College softball team traveled to FDU-Madison, Friday afternoon, for an MAC Freedom Conference doubleheader. The Warriors returned home with a pair of shutout victories, defeating the Devils 1-0 in the first game and 3-0 in the nightcap. The wins improve Lycoming's record to 9-6 overall and 4-2 within the conference.

In the opening game, the Warriors scored their lone run in the fourth inning when Amy Curry (Fr./Fallentimber, PA; Moshannon Valley) drove in Adrienne Wydra (Sr./Ashland, PA; North Schuylkill). The victory came behind the strong pitching of freshman Amanda Gery (Whitehall, PA; Whitehall) who recorded her third consecutive shutout. She has now pitched 25 consecutive innings without allowing a run.

In the second game, Lycoming got all the offense they needed in the first inning with one swing of the bat. Jess Feerrar (Jr./Lock Haven, PA; Lock Haven) connected for a two-run homerun - her second round-tripper of the season. She later scored on a triple by Curry to add a third run to the Warriors' total. However, one run was all that was needed due to the effort of Laurie Rooney (So./Audubon, NJ; Audubon) who pitched seven innings of shutout ball.

Lycoming is in action again on Tuesday, April 2, when they travel to Messiah College.
