HE. VAN DYKE

LODI, N.J. – Senior catcher Heather Van Dyke (West Milford, NJ/West Milford) went 3 for 8 and drove in two runs in each game as the Felician College softball team won both ends of a Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference doubleheader, 5-0 and 4-2, over visiting Goldey-Beacom College on Wednesday at Kennedy Park. The games were the season finales for both schools.

Felician junior Nicole Broecker (Staten Island, NY/Moore Catholic) struck out a season-high nine batters in pitching a four-hit shutout in Game 1. The Golden Falcons (16-23, 11-13) took advantage of three Goldey-Beacom errors to score two unearned runs in the bottom of the third inning, then took control with a three-run fourth. With two runners on and two out, Dara DeSocio (Cliffside Park, NJ/Paramus Catholic) pulled a run-scoring single, and Van Dyke followed with a two-run double down the left field line.
