Gwynedd Valley, Pa. - (4/15/2025) - In true Softball Social fashion, this afternoon's doubleheader versus Eastern University (23-5) offered a little bit of everything as a sunny game-one saw the Eagles score on Gwynedd Mercy University (7-20) early and late in an 11-2 six-inning final. In game two, the Red and Gold nearly matched the Eagles in hits, but were unable to find a run through the wind and rain of a 4-0 conclusion. Between the two contests, junior second baseman Avery Schwartz (Collegeville, Pa.) (3-for-6), freshman third baseman Hannah Cohen (North Wales, Pa.) (3-for-6), and fifth-year designated player/pitcher Jocelyn Baumeister (Willow Grove, Pa.) (3-for-5) recorded three hits apiece.
