Widener for the second straight day split a pair of contests, losing 11-2 to Grove City in the opener before rolling to a 7-0 triumph over Finlandia in Clermont, FL.

Senior Jackie Korang (Delran, NJ) against Grove City (1-2) had a two-run double in the third inning and freshman Devin Coyne (Chesapeake, VA) added a double for the Pride (2-2).

Against Finlandia (3-4), Hillsborough, NJ freshman Alexis Schengrund (2-0) again pitched great in tossing her first collegiate shutout. She struck out 10 over seven innings and got out of several jams with the Lions leaving 13 runners on base.

Widener took a 3-0 lead in the fifth inning on an RBI double from sophomore Heather Forward (Philadelphia, PA) and a run-scoring single from freshman Angela Hood (Mullica Hill, NJ). It all but iced things in the sixth with four more runs, keyed by a two-run triple from sophomore Alie Alkins (Aston, PA) and Forward's RBI double.
