Pleasantville, N.Y. - The Adelphi University softball team advanced to 3-1 in conference play on Sunday after sweeping Pace University in Northeast-10 Conference play. 

Game 1: Adelphi 7, Pace 0
The result was never really in doubt. Adelphi (4-1) scored six runs in the first three innings of play to build an early lead. 
 
Emily Whitman's leadoff double in the first inning set the tone for the rest of the game. The Panthers' offense would come alive in the second inning, sending four across the plate. 

Lauren O'Neill hit her second RBI single of the game to send Whitman home in the sixth, increasing the lead to seven. 
 
Ally Muller pitched her second complete game of the season, and it was a one-hit shutout. The senior retired eight batters via strikeout.
 
Game 2: Adelphi 9, Pace 4
Whitman's double once again gave Adelphi the boost they needed in the nightcap. The junior went 4-for-7 on the day, with six stolen bases and five runs scored.  
 
Scoring four in the second inning, the Brown and Gold stole six bases, including a pair at the dish. 
 
The Setters got on the board for the first time of the day in the bottom of the third on a bases-loaded infield single, before a 1-2-3 double play ended the inning. 
 
Pinch-hitter Kendall Winn drove a ball to the left field fence to bring Ashley Lombardi home in the seventh. O'Neill would follow with a base hit to right field, scoring Winn. The Panthers took a seven-run lead. 
 
Pace sent two home in return, in an effort to come back, but it was not enough. 

Sophomore Claire Fon was credited with her first career victory in the circle, after throwing a complete game and tossing eight strikeouts. 
 
Adelphi is back in action Tuesday (Mar. 23) in a doubleheader at Molloy College. First pitch is scheduled for 3 p.m..
