WILLOW STREET, PA (April 16, 2014) - The Penn State Berks softball team picked up a 25-0 win in the opener before a rally came up short in an 11-7 setback to Lancaster Bible College in a North Eastern Athletic Conference (NEAC) South Division doubleheader on Wednesday evening at Garrett Field.

The Nittany Lions (18-6, 11-1 NEAC South) used the long ball to take control of the opener. Colleen Hoge opened the game with the first home run of her career and three batters later Julia Moscato hit a two-run shot, her fourth of the season. Rhianna Roulston smacked two homers and finished the game with six RBI, while Alyssa Wentz's first career hit was a three-run deep ball in the top the fifth inning.

Hoge and Chelsea Bright each recorded four hits, scored three runs, and tallied an RBI. Moscato went 3-for-5 with three runs batted in and four runs scored, while Roulston went 3-for-3 for the fourth time this season. Megan Olsen went 2-for-3 with four runs scored and four RBI. Missy Lamm scored three runs and Abby Staskiel drove in three runs.

Casey Hafer earned her 10th win of the season after tossing a complete-game, shutout. She allowed only one hit and struck out nine batters.

In the second game, the Chargers (7-19, 6-10 NEAC South) jumped out to a 9-1 lead after three innings and held off a rally to give the Nittany Lions their first conference lost.

Jenna Heffner drove in two runs with a double in the top of the fourth to help bring the Nittany Lions back into the game. She scored on a single by Roulston and Kaylie Vrabel added an RBI to make it a 9-5 contest. Lamm and Megan Olsen each pushed a run across the plate to cut the Berks deficit to 9-7, but that is as close as they would get.

The Nittany Lions will travel to Penn State Abington for a NEAC South Division doubleheader at Penn State Abington on Friday, April 18 at 12 p.m.
