^{Lakewood, NJ – The Georgian Court University Lions softball team split a conference doubleheader today against rival Dominican College. The Lions got off on the right foot with a 3-1 win in game 1, but were denied the sweep as the Charger bats woke up in game 2 claiming a 13-5 win.}

^{Georgian Court was led in game 1 by a strong pitching performance by freshman Samantha Sasko (Yardville, NJ), who went the whole way for the victory improving her record to 5-1 on the season. Sasko overpowered the Charger line up ringing up 9 strikeouts in her 7 innings of work. Offensively, the Lions were led by Rebecca Rhebergen (Hopewell, NJ), who reached base three times, and scored 2 runs in the game. Autumn Florez (Manchester, NJ) continued her hot hitting collecting two more base hits raising her batting average to .438.}  

^{In the nightcap, the Dominican offense struck early and often putting a 3 spot on the board before the Lions even came to bat. GCU answered quickly in the second when Julie Sito (Elyria,OH) led off with a walk, was advanced to second on a fielder’s choice and eventually scored on a Stacey Ryan (Brick, NJ) single. The Chargers stretched their lead in the third behind a 3 run blast off the bat of Michelle Krupna (Sparta, NJ). Dominican added to their lead with 1 in the fifth and 5 more in the sixth.}

^{The Lions were able close the gap, scoring three times in the bottom half of the inning but it was not enough. The split leaves the Georgian Court at 10-4, 3-1 CACC while the Chargers went to 13-7, 3-3 CACC.}
