Alvernia (20-2) broke into the scoring column in game one with a single run in the third. After Eastern starter had made it through the first seven hitters in the line-up, Jaquelyn Torres doubled to center and scored when Katie Manowski lashed a single up the middle.

The Crusaders scored a run in the fourth and three more in the fifth in support of starter Brittanie Wolfe. Alvernia's first-year standout struck out a pair and allowed only three hits to pick up her tenth win of the year.

The Eagles started slowly with a pair of errors leading to three runs in the top of the first in the second game. The Eastern hitters reached with some regularity, but Alvernia starter Deanna Dungee kept the shutout until Sam Fichter delivered a two-out RBI single in the fourth.

The Crusader fielders made numerous plays in support of Dungee (7-1). Torres robbed Jaime Schwartz of at least a double with an incredible diving catch in center.

The Eagles will look to find their way back into the winning column when they take on Delaware Valley College in an important Freedom Conference doubleheader on Thursday.
