New Haven, Conn. - The Adelphi University softball team walked away from the weekend with with two victories. The Panthers swept an NE10 doubleheader at Southern Connecticut State, 2-1 and 3-0, on Saturday afternoon. 

Game 1: Adelphi 2, SCSU 1
The Owls got off to a hot start, hitting back-to-back doubles in the first inning to take a 1-0 lead.

That lead was short lived.

Lauren O'Neill's aggressiveness on the basepaths in Game 1 ultimately led to her scoring both the tying and go-ahead runs.

After reaching in the second on a double, she crossed home on a stolen base and wild pitch to even things up. Then, in the seventh, the senior stole second after a single to put herself in scoring position. Two batters later, Alexa Sacripante stepped to the plate as a pinch hitter and drove in O'Neill with an infield single.

SCSU had no answer to O'Neill's seventh-inning run, as the Owl batters were retired in order in their final turn at-bat.

Ally Muller earned the win in the decision for the Panthers. She struck out 10 batters in a complete-game effort,.

Game 2: Adelphi 3, SCSU 0
In Game 2, Nicole Mengel held the Owls scoreless from inside the circle. Mengel threw a complete game that consisted of four strikeouts, three hits and two walks. She moved to 3-1 on the season with the win.

The Panthers (7-3, 5-1 NE10) got on the board early, much in part to Hannah Pineda reaching on an error in the second inning, and eventually scoring on a Daniella Roselli single. 

One frame later, Roselli accounted for two more runs. The sophomore blasted a RBI double to center field and took home on a throwing error. Roselli went 2-for-3 on the game, had two RBIs and scored one run. 

SCSU was unable to convert hits into runs in the nightcap, leaving five runners stranded on base. 

The Panthers are back in action for Day 2 of their series with Southern Connecticut on Tuesday, Mar. 30. First pitch is set for 2:30 p.m.. The games were originally scheduled for Sunday, Mar. 28, but were pushed back due to expected inclement weather.
