Senior Haley Fedak pitched her second straight shutout and junior Kristina Qualben tied a school record with three doubles to lift the Muhlenberg softball team to a 7-0 win against Oneonta and a split of its home-opening doubleheader. The Red Dragons won the first game, 6-5.

Fedak allowed only five hits against an Oneonta team that came into the twinbill with a .406 batting average and averaged more than nine runs per game on its Spring Break trip to Arizona. She struck out three, including one with a runner on third and one out in the sixth, in improving to 4-3 on the season.

Qualben doubled in each of her three plate appearances to match the mark achieved four times previously - once by Qualben herself last year and once by Fedak. She broke open a scoreless game with a two-run two-bagger to the gap in right-center in the second, started a three-run rally in the fourth with another double to right-center in the fourth and went to the right-field corner for an RBI double the following inning.

Fedak also had three hits in the nightcap, and senior Hanna Caiola hit an RBI single. 

The Red Dragons (6-6) jumped on the Mules (5-7) with five runs in the top of the first inning of the opener, but freshman Sophie Chong settled down after that to record her first career complete game and give her team a chance at a comeback.

An RBI single by junior Kristy Selby in the first and run-scoring hits by Qualben and Chong in the third made it 5-3. Senior Amelia Shelley hit a two-run single in the sixth to cut the gap to one run, but Muhlenberg left the tying run on base and went down 1-2-3 in the seventh. 

Caiola (pictured above, high-fiving with Allyson Sweeney after scoring a run) had three hits, including a triple, in the opening game, while Fedak and Shelley finished with two hits apiece.

The four RBI in the twinbill gave Qualben 17 for the season, already her career high with just 12 games played.
