Senior Jacque Curtis and sophomore Maggie Desmond (pictured) led the Philadelphia University softball team to a doubleheader sweep of Bloomfield College on the road on Sunday afternoon.  Curtis earned the win on the mound in the opening game and also hit a homerun while Desmond hit two homeruns on the day for the Lady Rams, who improve to 5-15 overall and 3-5 in the Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference (CACC) with the sweep.

In the opener, the Lady Rams took a 1-0 lead in the top of the fourth inning on a homerun by Curtis, the tenth of her career.  Head Coach John Kelly's team added four runs in the top of the sixth inning to take control, highlighted by Desmond's two-run homerun off Deacons' starter Brianne Moore.  Curtis then took over, allowing just five hits and collecting five strikeouts in picking up the complete-game shutout as the Lady Rams took the 5-0 decision.

In the second game, the Lady Rams jumped out to a 3-0 lead in the top of the third inning as senior outfielder Maureen Keenan and Curtis registered RBI doubles while sophomore designated hitter Kristin Giamatteo added a sacrifice fly to extend the lead.  However, the Deacons tallied three times in the bottom of the sixth inning to tie the game, but Kelly's team answered the bell once again.  The Lady Rams scored four times in the top of the seventh inning as Desmond accounted for three runs with a three-run homerun, her second of the day.  Freshman pitcher Randi Wozniak earned her first career collegiate win on the mound, going the distance while striking out six in the 7-3 victory.

Philadelphia University will look to extend its winning streak in its next outing, hosting Wilmington University on Tuesday, April 8th.
