EMMITSBURG, Md. - Robert Morris swept a Northeast Conference (NEC) softball doubleheader on Saturday. The Colonials won the opener 7-3 and then took the nightcap, 6-1.

Due to impending inclement weather and field conditions, the Mount St. Mary's doubleheader at Saint Francis (Pa.), originally scheduled for Sunday in Loretto, has been postponed. Makeup date and time to be announced. The Mount will now return to action on May 1 at Fairleigh Dickinson. Game time is 1 p.m.

Taylor Beebe (Olympia, Wash./Capital) fueled the Mount (23-22, 5-9 NEC) with three hits on the afternoon while Courtney Zingle (Ambler, Pa./Hatboro-Horsham) smacked a home run in the opener and Amanda Buckel (Finksburg, Md./North Carroll) drilled her first collegiate homer in the second game.

In the opener, Robert Morris jumped out to a 2-0 lead in the first inning thanks to a Sarah Capp's RBI single to right and then Capps and Dubovec converted a double steal to score the second run.

Zingle answered for Mount St. Mary's in the second on her third home run of the season to cut the margin to 2-1.

The Colonials added a run in the third on a Dubovec sacrifice fly and then plated three runs in the fourth to grab a 6-1 advantage. After Kayla Crooks singled home the first run in the fourth, Timko brought two runs home on an error. Picinic then increased the margin to six runs with an RBI single to left in the fifth.

The Mount rallied for two runs in the fifth to cut the margin to 7-3. The squad got the two runs on three-straight doubles by Beebe, Lisa Curreri (Clinton, N.J./North Hunterdon) and Liz Christiansen (Etters, Pa./Red Land), but the Mountaineers could get no closer the rest of the way.

In the nightcap, Robert Morris posted two runs in the first and three in the third to grab a 5-0 edge. Dubovec got the scoring started with an RBI double to left center before Capp brought home the second run on a single to left in the first.
