KING'S SOFTBALL DROPS TWO TO DREW, 6-5 AND 11-10

MADISON, NJ --  The King's College softball team dropped its first MAC Freedom Conference games of the year when the defending champion Lady Monarchs were upset by host Drew University Tuesday in Madison, NJ.

Drew won the first game 6-5, then captured the second game 11-10 to secure the sweep.

In the opener, King's trailed 6-1 heading into their final at-bats and scored four runs to fall just short. Michele Dlugosz was 2-for-4, while Stacey Preambo, Kim Ball, and Linda Manarchuck were all 2-for-3.

In the nightcap, King's held a 10-7 lead going into the bottom-of-the-seventh inning when the Rangers rallied. Drew scored four runs in their final at-bats, including a two-run double by Tara Duffy to post the comeback victory.

The Lady Monarchs were led by Dlugosz who was 3-for-4 with a triple and three runs scored. Lisa Rizzo was 3-for-4 with a double and three RBI. Jess Harvey was 2-for-3 while Maria Zangardi went 2-for-5 with a double and three RBI.

King's falls to 20-5-1 and will next host FDU-Madison Saturday at 1:00 p.m. in a crucial MAC Freedom doubleheader at Betzler Fields.
