Dover, Del. - UAlbany softball swept two games at the Delaware State Tournament on Saturday, defeating Colgate, 1-0, and Morgan State, 3-0, before the tournament was ended early because of impending weather conditions in Dover.

            In game one, the Great Danes were able to take advantage of two Colgate errors to score their only run. In the third inning, UAlbany's Diane MacDowell reached on a Colgate fielding error and was advanced to second on a ground out by Andrianna Walraven. MacDowell then stole third and crossed home plate on a throwing error to score the only run needed.

           Jess Bergin had the only hit for the Great Danes. Brittany MacFawn earned the win on the mound with a complete-game performance. MacFawn struck out 11 Raider batters and scattered just three hits in the game.

            In the second game of the day, UAlbany took a 1-0 lead in the second and tacked on two additional runs in the fifth for the second shutout win of the day. Katie Wambold started off the second inning with a single through the left side, and was driven home on an RBI double by Lauren Alcorn to give the Great Danes a one-run advantage.

            UAlbany extended its lead in the fifth, as MacDowell singled with a bunt to third base, which allowed Allison Haan to score. MacDowell recorded her second stolen base of the day to move into scoring position and made it home on a sacrifice fly by Gina Mason. Allie Weiser earned the win on the mound with the Great Danes' second complete-game performance of the tournament, striking out six without issuing a walk or allowing a run in seven innings of action.
