GLENSIDE, P.A.- The Penn State Abington women's softball team travled 4 miles down the road to Arcadia University on Tuesday evening for a freindly doubleheader. The Nittany Lions dropped both games to the Knights 6-2 and 9-1, and fall to 7-12 on the season.
 
In game one, Becca Dougherty (Churchville, PA) delivered a single to center field at the top of the second inning to get things started for Abington. Sophomore Kourtney Schneider (Ewing, NJ) followed up with a clutch two out RBI double down the right field line to move Dougherty to third. With runners in scoring position at second and third, Arcadia made a throwing error that allowed Dougherty and Schneider to score. The Knights answered back in the bottom of the second by tying the game 2-2 and pushed four more runs across the plate later in the game. Unfortunately Abington's offense could not string together timely hits to catch up to Arcadia's 6-2 win.
 
In game two, the Nittany Lions offense struggled with only three hits. Singles came from Danielle Hebling (Warminster, Pa.), Mary Kate Smith (Springfield, PA), and Stephanie Andreoli (Richboro, PA).  Andreoli scored Abington's only run in the top of the first inning with an RBI single to right field that scored McMenamin, who previously reached on an error.
 
Abington will host Swarthmore College this Thursday for a double header beginning at 3:00pm.
