NORTH ANDOVER, Mass. - The Southern New Hampshire
University softball team swept a Northeast-10 doubleheader from
Merrimack College by scores of 3-2 and 13-4 Wednesday afternoon at
Warrior Field. The Penmen improved to 12-17 overall and 8-10
in the NE-10, while the Warriors are now 8-22 and 8-14 in the
league.
In the opener, the Penmen would get
all the runs they would need in the first two innings.
Karissa Bettencourt (Norton, MA) belted a solo
home run to give SNHU a 1-0 lead in the top of the first. The
Penmen would score twice in the second. Ashley
Guertin (Manchester, NH) led off the inning by reaching on
an error, then scored on another throwing error after
Nicole Arpin (Cheshire, CT) singled. Arpin
would score the third SNHU run on a passed ball. The Warriors
would get their only two runs in the bottom of the third.
Ashley Bernstein
(Stoughton, MA) earned the win in the circle for Southern New
Hampshire, allowing just four hits in a complete game effort.

the Penmen in the opener.
In the nightcap, SNHU belted three
home runs as part of a 13-hit attack. Bernstein belted two
home runs, both times with a pair of runners on as she collected

4-0 lead, while her second round-tripper in the sixth made it a
10-2 game. Andrea Clausi (Kingston, NY)
would belt a three-run home run in the seventh.
