SELINSGROVE, Pa. – Senior Morgan Wetzel (Mill Hall, Pa./Central Mountain) kept up her torrid hitting with five on the day to raise her average above .400 to lead the Lycoming College softball team, as it dropped a non-conference doubleheader at Susquehanna University, 10-4 in game one and 8-3, in game two, on Thursday, April 20.
 
Wetzel went 3-for-4 with two doubles and two runs in the first game and then went 2-for-4 with a run and a double in the second game, moving into a tie for third in career hits with 124 with Amy Cline '13 and within one double of the school record of 33 set by Kristi Weaver '16.

In the second, first-year Mallory Rodarmel (Montoursville, Pa./Loyalsock Township) walked after sophomore Rachel Daub (Honesdale, Pa./Honesdale) singled. After moving to second on a caught stealing, junior Kylie Russell (Cogan Station, Pa./Jersey Shore) delivered a RBI single. In the third, Wetzel doubled with one out, moved to third on a groundout and scored on a fielder's choice that didn't produce an out.
 
The River Hawks scored five runs in the next three frames though. Wetzel scored Lycoming's last run after doubling, moving to third on a groundout and scoring on a pinch-hit single by junior Missy Van Klingeren (Byram Township, N.J./Lenape Valley Regional).
