ABINGTON, Pa. – Penn College won its seventh-game after a double-header sweep over Penn State Abington in a North Eastern Athletic Conference softball twinbill Thursday. The Wildcats improved to 11-1 after a 19-9 win in the first game and a 14-5 victory in the nightcap.

The Lions plated their first run in the second to make 7-1 before PCT added five in the top of the fourth –including a two-run blast by Mangene -- to take 12-1 lead. Abington exploded for eight in the bottom of the fourth to pull within three, 12-9.
