Reading, Pa. (May 6, 2011) - Sophomore Jocelyn Hickey threw a one-hit shutout and second-seeded Messiah College got all the offense it needed on a second inning sacrifice fly to defeat #3 Arcadia University 1-0 Friday afternoon in game two of the Commonwealth Conference Softball Championships at Angelica Park.

Hickey struck out two batters in the first and recorded the last 18 outs of the game on flyouts and groundouts.  She gave up a one-out single in the third and walked a pair, but the Knights never mounted a serious threat getting just one runner as far as second base.

The Falcons scored their run in the second on back-to-back singles followed by the sac fly from Lauren Seneca.

Messiah will play #1 Lebanon Valley immediately in the winners bracket final while Arcadia will return to face #4 Lycoming Saturday morning at 9:00 in the first elimination game of the tournament.
