DOYLESTOWN (PA) – After losing game one to visiting Marywood University, 7-4, the Delaware Valley University softball team bounced-back with a 7-0 shutout in the nightcap to earn a split in the non-conference doubleheader on Monday.

Playing for the second consecutive day, the split moved the Aggies to 10-6 overall while the Pacers climbed to 7-13.

In game one, Caitlin Stoner delivered an RBI single to center that scored Koraima Dudley, who was aboard with a double, to give DelVal a 2-1 lead after three innings.

However, Marywood responded the very next inning with five runs on six hits and one error to go up by 6-2. Kirst Alvarez, Hannah Docalovich and Sarah Witte all doubled and came around to score and Kelsey Killeen picked up two RBI's to highlight the spurt.

The Aggies responded in the bottom of the fourth as Kayla Keller worked a lead-off walk and came around to score after back-to-back hits. Dudley then knocked in another run with a fielder's choice to make it 6-4 with just one out, but a double-play on the next at-bat ended the threat.

The Pacers added one more run in the top of the fifth with a Kate O'Meara RBI double and held on the rest of the way for the 7-4 victory.

Julie Burns suffered the loss in the circle after going 4.1 innings and Alvarez earned the win with seven innings pitched, 11 hits and three earned runs allowed.

The nightcap was all DelVal with Jamie Stefani taking to the circle and helping herself in the first inning with a long homerun to right field to make it 1-0. Jess Ellick picked up an RBI in the second inning, scoring Morgan Hawk, and she did the same in fourth inning with a single through the left side. O'Donohue followed in the fourth with an RBI single of her own to make it 4-0, Aggies.

In the bottom of the fifth, Caitlin Stoner singled and Gina Formisano drove in the run with an RBI double before coming in to score on a wild pitch. DelVal got one more in the frame and Stefani did not allow a hit the rest of the way to seal the 7-0 victory and earn her ninth victory of the year. For the game, she allowed just four hits while striking out four.

O'Donohue finished the day with four hits, two RBI's and a run scored while Julie Burns, Ellick and Stefani each had three hits at the dish. Ellick also drove in two runs and scored another while three other Aggies also enjoyed multiple-hit days including Formisano and Hawk who each scored twice.

Five different players for the Pacers had multiple hits in the first game including Alvarez and Annie Heyen who each had three. Heyen also scored twice and drove in another while Kelsey Killeen and O'Meara each had two RBI's.

DelVal will be back in action on Wednesday with a home doubleheader against Cedar Crest College at 3 p.m.
