Box Score
Garden City, N.Y. – Senior pitcher Katie Andrews helped the Adelphi University softball team on both sides of the ball today as the Panthers defeated Saint Rose 5-0 in the weekend series opener on Ficke Field.

The Brown and Gold move to 23-16 overall and 12-8 in the conference while Saint Rose goes to 11-21 and 7-13 in the conference.

Andrews pitched the complete game shutout with just two hits allowed and five strikeouts. She also went 2-for-4 from the plate with a homerun. Sophomore Jordan Catalano also notched two hits on the day.

After four scoreless innings, the Panthers broke through in the bottom of the fifth inning as junior Victoria Wink doubled in freshman infielder Danielle Cutuli. Andrews then stepped to the plate and drove a ball over the centerfield fence to give Adelphi a 3-0 advantage.

The Brown and Gold added in the sixth inning as Cutuli was hit by a pitch with the bases loaded. Junior outfielder Jaclyn Binstock drove in the fifth and final run with a single to second that scored freshman infielder Christina Palmenteri, who hustled in from third base.

The two squads head back to the diamond tomorrow for a noon doubleheader. It will also be "Senior Day" as seniors from both teams, including Andrews and Courtney Sullivan of the Panthers, will be celebrated.
