![]() A weekly look at what's going on in the Centennial Conference:
The only undefeated team in Division III, Johns Hopkins (24-0, 9-0) swept Franklin & Marshall, 5-4 and 9-3. The Diplomats (16-11, 8-3) are in third place, a half-game back of McDaniel (14-4, 8-2). Dickinson (7-3-1, 10-12-1) is in fourth after splitting with both McDaniel and Haverford. Ursinus (11-10-2, 6-5) swept Swarthmore and Gettysburg to move above .500 in the CC.
Gettysburg and McDaniel kept their perfect CC records intact. The Bullets (11-2, 6-0) won easily against Dickinson, 16-5, and Bryn Mawr, 20-1, before dropping a non-CC game to No. 2 New Jersey, 13-8. The Green Terror won close games against Franklin & Marshall, 11-8, and Haverford, 14-10. Washington (7-4, 4-2) also beat F&M, which entered the week ranked 17th in Division III, 9-8 on a goal with 12 seconds left.
The showdown between two of the top five teams in Division III went to Washington, as the third-ranked Shoremen (11-0, 4-0) never trailed in defeating No. 5 Gettysburg, 9-4. The Bullets (5-3 overall) are one of three teams with 2-1 records in the CC. The others are Franklin & Marshall (7-2 overall) and Dickinson (6-3), which knocked off McDaniel, 9-8, and Haverford, 14-7, during the week. |

For the season, DeLucia is 4-3 with a 1.61 ERA, with all four of her wins by shutout. She has struck out a team-high 27 batters. She ranks fourth on the Mules with a .324 batting average, third with six RBI and is tied for the team lead with five sacrifice bunts. DeLucias shutout of Washington was the 13th of her career, moving her into second place on Muhlenberg's all-time list. Only one Mule pitcher has finished her career with an ERA lower than her 1.53.
