Curtis' Big Day Not Enough, Lady Rams Swept by Adelphi

Senior Jacque Curtis (pictured) had an outstanding offensive performance for the Philadelphia University softball team on Sunday afternoon against Adelphi University, but it wasn't enough to prevent a doubleheader sweep by the Panthers.  Curtis finished the twinbill with five hits, four runs, five RBI and two homeruns for the Lady Rams, who fall to 12-24 overall on the season.

In the opening contest, Curtis went 2 for 3 with two homeruns and four RBI, but the Panthers registered the 8-4 decision.  With her second homerun, Curtis set the school's all-time homerun record with 14, eclipsing the previous mark of 13 set by former Lady Rams' standout Linsdey Field.  Fellow senior Janine Becker registered the only other hit for Philadelphia University in the contest, a lead-off single in the fifth inning.

In the second game of the day, Curtis went 3 for 4 with two runs and one RBI, but once again, the Panthers prevailed, this time by a 10-7 margin.  Curtis tied another school record held by Field in the second contest, picking up her 77th career RBI.  In addition to Curtis, sophomore Kristin Giamatteo went 2 for 4 at the plate, driving in a pair of runs in the setback.

Head Coach John Kelly and his team will look to get back on the winning track after losing four straight contests when they host Chestnut Hill College on Tuesday, April 22nd.
