Slippery Rock, Pa. – The Edinboro softball team dropped a pair of PSAC West contests to Slippery Rock in Scots PSAC West opener.
 
In the first game Edinboro fell 5-0 and the Scots dropped an 8-4 decision in the nightcap.
 
In the opener, the teams were scoreless through two and a half innings. In the bottom of the third inning, the Rock took advantage of a pair of Scot errors to score four unearned runs to go up 4-0. Slippery Rock tacked on an insurance run in the fourth to set the final.

The Scots fell behind 5-0 in the second contest  and found some offense in the top of the fifth. Adeline Maguire led off with a walk, but was erased on a Lucy Higley fielder's choice. A wild pitch and an Alara Bem single but runners on the corners. After a ground out pushed Bem to second, Becker doubled home a pair of runs. Hilary Sissem singled home Becker and came around to score on a Cassidy Weller double to pull Edinboro within 5-4. The Rock answered with three runs in the bottom of the frame to set the final.
 
Sissem led the offense going 2-for-3 with an RBI. Becker, Weller and Bem also had hits for the Scots. Kelsey Warren took the loss going 4.1 innings allowing seven runs on seven hits with five strikeouts.
