Crusaders Split Pair To Open 2016 Season

Clermont, Fl (Mar. 7, 2016)  - Alvernia University (1-1) started the 2016 season with a 6-3 win over Penn State Behrend (4-6) before falling 6-1 to Aurora University (5-3) Monday morning in the Spring Games at the National Training Center in Clermont Florida.

In game one, the Crusaders posted three runs in the bottom of the first. After freshman Morgan Psiuk collected her first career single, Aly Shilling added Alvernia's second runner of the inning on a PSU error. Amanda Turner capitalized on the mistake, roping a two-run double. Turner moved 60-feet closer to home on a deep fly to right by Mckenzie Miessau, and crossed on a single up the middle by Taylor Thomas.

Alvernia mirrored its first inning performance in the bottom of the second, tacking on three more runs. Emily Carmella provided the Crusaders with a baserunner, reaching and advancing to second on an error by the Lions first baseman.

Bernadette Carey pushed Carmella to third before Brianna DePriest notched an RBI double. DePriest would quickly come around to score on another Turner hit as Shilling, who reached on a walk, collected Alvernia's sixth run of the game on a passed ball.

The Lions cut down the Crusaders 6-0 lead throughout the game, scoring a run a piece in the third, fifth, and sixth innings.

Alvernia's 6-3 margin proved to be too much to surpass as fifth year senior Brittanie Wolfe earned her first win of the season on the mound, allowing eight hits in the complete game effort.
Game two showed a different result as the Crusaders fell to Aurora University, who was ranked in the top-25 in the NCAA Division III pre-season poll, 6-1.

Aurora reached the board first, taking a 3-0 advantage through the first four innings. The Crusaders earned their lone run in the top of the fifth as Carey led off the inning with a single. Carey took second on a fielder's choice by Turner and came around to score on the single by Shilling.

The Spartans tacked on a run in the fifth and two more in the sixth to secure the victory. Taylor Fouracre suffered the loss on the mound in five innings of work.
