READING, Pa. — In a rematch of the last three North Eastern Athletic Conference Championships, the Keuka College Softball team was swept in a doubleheader at Penn St.-Berks on Saturday afternoon.

The Nittany Lions struck first with a two-run home run in the second inning to take a lead. Berks then added to their lead with four in the third inning to extend the advantage to 6-0.

Keuka College would hold Berks there and attempted a two-out rally in the seventh inning. Three straight singles by Alexa Brown, Hayley Gorges, and Shelby Burgess loaded the bases for the Wolves.
