The Philadelphia University softball team took both games of a doubleheader on the School House Lane field this afternoon.  The Lady Rams blanked visiting Nyack College 8-0 and 14-0 in two games shortened by the eight-run rule.  Jacque Curtis got the win, pitching a two-hitter in game one; and the senior combined to go 7-for-8 at the plate, scoring four runs with six RBI in the twinbill.

With the wins, the Lady Rams up their record to 12-20 for the year, 8-10 in the Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference (CACC).  The losses drop the Warriors to 6-22; 1-15 in CACC play.

Sophomore Kelly Rauco and freshman Randi Wozniak combined for the second-game shutout, with Rauco earning her third victory of the season in the starting effort.

In addition to Curtis, a host of Lady Rams had stellar batting performances.  Senior Maureen Keenan belted her second home run of the year to lead-off the bottom of the fourth in game two, sparking a 10-run, nine-hit half inning that opened the floodgates against the Warriors.  Keenan finished the day 4-for-8 with four runs scored and three RBI.

Up next for Head Coach John Kelly's team is a late-season weekend of non-conference action in the New York Metro region, as the Lady Rams will be at Molloy on Saturday and at Adelphi on Sunday.
