TYSON NAMED PLAYER OF WEEK
Freshman pitcher Angie Tyson of the Muhlenberg softball
team was named Centennial Conference player of the week through games of
April 10 after winning each of her first three CC starts. In 19 innings
of work, she struck out 12 and allowed only one earned run for a 0.37
ERA. Tyson pitched a one-hit shutout against Franklin & Marshall and
helped her own cause with two singles and an RBI.
SOFTBALL TEAM IN FIRST
The Muhlenberg softball team is involved in quite a battle
for the top of the Centennial Conference. The Mules retained their lead
by splitting with defending champion Western Maryland on April 17, while
Ursinus and Gettysburg were rained out. Meanwhile, Dickinson swept
Washington to sneak into the picture. The top four teams are now
separated by one game in the standings. The Mules have two CC
doubleheaders left, one against Washington and the other against Ursinus,
both at home. The 1999 CC champion receives an automatic bid to the NCAA
Tournament. Standings through games of April 18:
CC All
MUHLENBERG 9-3 17-14
Ursinus 6-2 17-13
Western Md. 7-3 13-9
Dickinson 7-3 19-7
Gettysburg 4-2 13-10
F & M 7-7 10-8
Washington 4-6 12-8
Swarthmore 0-8 0-16
Haverford 0-10 4-25
KENNY MOVES UP TO FOURTH
Muhlenberg senior lacrosse player Katie Kenny moved up to
fourth in Division III in goals scored through games of April 11. Kenny's
average of 4.25 goals per game, on 34 goals in eight games, was not too
far behind the 4.50 average posted by national leader Erin Byrnes of
Eastern Connecticut State.
