SHIPPENSBURG, Pa. – Playing angry after their biggest loss of the season, the No. 14 Lock Haven University softball team (34-9), took out their frustrations on Kutztown University (27-24), 8-0 in six innings at the NCAA Mid-Atlantic Regional today (May 13).

Senior Lynn Spiezio (Trooper, Pa./Methacton) had a banner day for the Lady Eagles, as the leadoff hitter setting the table and driving them in, as she finished 3-for-4 with 2 runs scored and 3 RBI. Spiezio also stole two bases giving her 81 in her career, snapping the 14-year-old record at LHU, held by Lori DiVecchio (1988-91).

Junior Shona M. Guevara (Chino Hills, Calif./Humboldt State University) got the complete-game shutout, her sixth of the season, to improve to 19-5. Kutztown’s Cheryl Griffith (8-5) took the loss in one inning.

The Lady Eagles scored early and often to invoke the eight-run rule on the Golden Bears, pounding out 12 hits and eight runs.

“The big difference today was that we got a full team effort,” LHU assistant coach Kelly Shannon said. “We played a complete game today.”

The big inning for LHU would come in the fourth.

Already up two on a double by Courtney Hughes (Schwenksville, Pa./Souderton), who later scored on an error, Spiezio smacked a bases-loaded double down the left field line, clearing the bases. She scored, after the record stolen base, on a single by sophomore Stephanie Hallowell (Eagleville, Pa./Methacton).

Hughes added to her LHU career home run record, adding a solo shot for her 15^th round tripper in the fifth.
