Box Score 1 | Box Score 2 SWARTHMORE, Pa. – The Arcadia University softball team recorded a pair of shutout victories as it swept a non-conference doubleheader at Swarthmore College Thursday by final scores of 2-0 and 7-0. The Knights improved to 11-15 for the season with the two wins, while the Garnet fell to 7-16.
 
Sophomore Erin Wilson (Bethlehem, Pa.) tossed a six-hit complete-game shutout with nine strikeouts in game-one to even her record at 6-6 for the season, while classmate Sarah Gunia (East Brunswick, N.J.) tossed a four-hit complete-game shutout with four Ks in game-two to improve to 4-7.
 
Arcadia took a 1-0 lead in the top of the second in game-two when sophomore Alicia McMahon (Bel Air, Md.) scored on an error. The Knights got an insurance run in the seventh as sophomore Sara Boyadjis (Cedar Knolls, N.J.) scored on a single down the right field line off the bat of senior Leanda Helms (Topton, Pa.).
 
Swarthmore had two quality scoring chances, but Wilson worked out of a bases loaded, one-out jam in the bottom of the first as junior Chelsea Matzko (Torrington, Conn.) was cut down at home and sophomore Clara Obstfeld (Berkley, Calif.) struck out swinging, and then got Pezzato to fly out with two outs and runners on first and second in the fifth.
 
Freshman Jackie Pezzato (Medford Lakes, N.J.) took the loss after giving up two unearned runs on seven hits and three walks in seven innings, dropping her record to 1-5.
 
The second game was scoreless until the top of the sixth when McMahon drove in junior Jessica Shotwell (Winsted, Conn.) and Boyadjis with a bases-loaded single to center. McMahon drove in two more runs as part of a five-run seventh that put game-two out of reach.
 
McMahon finished 2-for-4 with two singles and four RBI in the game, while Shotwell was 2-for-3 and scored twice in the game. Gunia helped her own cause by going 2-for-4 at the plate with an RBI.
 
Senior Melissa O'Connor (Rockaway, N.J.) pitched well to start the game, but ended up allowing all seven runs on 11 hits in 6.2 innings of work, dropping her record to 5-5.
 
Arcadia will next travel to Lycoming College Saturday for a Commonwealth Conference doubleheader that starts at 1 p.m.
