Presto Breaks Single-Season Program Record for Wins in Opening Game of Softball's Sweep of Neumann

GLENSIDE, Pa. - Pitcher Juliana Presto set a new single-season program record for victories with 18 in the first game of Arcadia University softball's doubleheader sweep over Neumann on Tuesday night. The Knights took the opening game, 5-1, and then came out on top in the nightcap, 8-3.  

Arcadia improved its record to 27-6 with the two victories.  

This is the second program record that Presto has broken this season as she set a new single season high for strikeouts earlier this campaign.  

Madi Costigan, Nathalia Diianni and Megan Sooy all recorded multi-hit games in the first game. Sooy was 3-for-4 and added three RBI's and Diianni also drove in two runs in a 2-for-3 effort. Serena Goodridge also knocked a run home in the game one victory.  

Presto pitched seven innings in the opening game, allowing only four hits and one run. She struck out 12 batters, including the first seven outs she recorded in the game coming by way of a strikeout.  

Five Knights had a multi-hit game in the night cap, headlined by Grace Cosgrove's 3-for-3 performance. Costigan, Diianni, Sooy and Goodridge all added two hits in the game two win. In total, Sooy was 5-for-8 in the two games with three doubles.  

Brenna Dolan won her ninth game of the season as she pitched six-plus innings, allowing five hits, three runs (one earned run) and striking out five. Dolan began the seventh, but Presto entered the game and got the final three outs for the Knights.
