The Rivalry: Lehigh vs. Lafayette 

EASTON, Pa. – The Lehigh softball team completed a dominant first weekend of Patriot League play by sweeping a doubleheader from rival Lafayette Sunday at Metzgar Fields. Mountain Hawk pitchers allowed just three hits as Lehigh posted a 2-0 win in the opener and an 8-0, five inning triumph in the nightcap.
 
Ten different players recorded at least one hit in the doubleheader led by senior Cassie Waggy, juniors Alexis Watanabe and Morgan Decker and freshman Nicole Yozzo who each had three.
 
Lehigh has now won ten straight games to improve to 19-3 overall and 3-0 in the Patriot League, while Lafayette is now 1-19 overall and 0-3 in the league. The Mountain Hawks outscored the Leopards 21-0 and allowed just seven hits in the three-game sweep.
 
Sophomore Christine Campbell fired a two-hit shutout in the opener, her third of the season, to led Lehigh. She struck out four and did not issue a walk as she improves to 8-1 on the season.
 
Lafayette's Rebecca Dvorak had both hits and was erased on double plays on both occasions.

Offensively, Yozzo led off the game with a double to left center, her first extra-base hit of the season, before Decker brought her home with a single to right.
 
Stephanie Thomas kept Lehigh in check into the fifth inning when the Mountain Hawks loaded the bases. A throwing error by Dvorak allowed junior Carissa Zito to score from third with Lehigh's second run.
 
Campbell faced just one batter over the minimum and retired the final eight batters she faced after Dvorak's double in the fifth.
 
In game two, Lehigh scored twice in the second, five times in the third and once in the fourth to pick up its second run-rule win over its archrival in as many days.
 
Sophomore Vicky Lattanzio led off the second with a triple to left and then scored on a single by junior Jessica Calvini. Two batters later, Waggy doubled to right center scoring Calvini to give Lehigh a 2-0 edge.
 
Watanabe was 3-for-3 in the nightcap as her RBI double in the third scored Yozzo to put Lehigh up 3-0. The Mountain Hawks loaded the bases with one out before senior pitcher Emily Bausher helped her own cause with a three-run double to left center. Waggy was also 3-for-3 in game two and followed with a double of her own, scoring Bausher to put the Mountain Hawks in front by seven.
 
A RBI single from Decker in the fourth scored Watanabe and capped Lehigh's scoring for the day.
 
Bausher cruised in the circle, allowing just one baserunner through the first four innings. Samantha Sweigart spoiled Bausher's no-hit bid with a one out single in the fifth but Bausher closed the game out with a fielder's choice and a strikeout. Bausher completed her fifth shutout of the season and her second five-inning shutout in as many days, allowing the one hit while striking out six as she improves to 9-2.
 
Lehigh hitters finally figured out Thomas in game two, as she gave up five runs on six hits in two plus innings.
 
The Mountain Hawks will open their home schedule on Wednesday when they welcome defending Patriot League champion Boston University to Kaufman Field for a doubleheader. First pitch for game one is set for 2 p.m. with audio coverage of both games available at Lehighsports.com.
