Seniors Kelly McGrath (pictured) and Jacque Curtis played major roles for the Philadelphia University softball team on Wednesday afternoon, helping the Lady Rams to a sweep of Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference (CACC) foe Goldey-Beacom College.  The twinbill sweep, which came by scores of 11-3 and 20-1, improves the Lady Rams to 10-20 overall on the season including a 6-10 mark in the conference.

Curtis was the difference in the opening game as the Lady Rams posted an 11-3 victory.  The Punxsutawney (Pa.) High product went a perfect 3 for 3 at the plate with two runs and two RBI including her second homerun of the season.  On the mound, Curtis allowed eight hits and three unearned runs in five innings, earning her team-high sixth victory of the season.  Curtis also got help from senior outfielder Maureen Keenan and freshman outfielder Jen Richard, who added two hits apiece.

In the second game, McGrath helped the Lady Rams take control early, connecting on a two-run double in the bottom of the second inning of an eventual 20-1 victory.  McGrath added another two-run double in the bottom of the third inning, finishing the contest with three hits, three runs and a career-high five RBI.  Head Coach John Kelly's team pounded out a season-high 20 hits in the triumph including four from sophomore designated hitter Kristin Giamatteo and three apiece from Keenan and senior infielder Janine Becker.  Sophomore lefthander Kelly Rauco earned the complete-game win on the mound, allowing just three hits and one unearned run to go along with four strikeouts.

Philadelphia University will look to extend its winning streak when it returns to action on Friday, April 18th, hosting Nyack College in a league doubleheader.
