Felician Athletics

LODI, N.J. – Felician College freshman Lauren DeGrushe (Guttenberg, NJ/High Tech) singled home the winning run in the bottom of the 10th inning as the Golden Falcons defeated Post University, 4-3, in Game 1 of the teams’ Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference softball doubleheader Tuesday afternoon at Kennedy Park. Post gained a split with a 6-1 victory in Game 2.

With the international tiebreaker in effect, Felician’s Katie Spera (Lanoka Harbor, NJ/Lacey Township) reached on an error to start the 10th. After a sacrifice and a pop-up, DeGrushe looped a single to short left field. The Post coaching staff argued for interference on Spera with the Eagle shortstop in going back on the ball, but after a brief conference, the umpires instead called obstruction on the shortstop, allowing the winning run to stand.

Lauren Degrushe is the CACC Softball Rookie of the Week for April 7, 2008.

RUTHERFORD, N.J. – Felician College freshman Lauren DeGrushe of Guttenberg has been named the Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference Softball Rookie of the Week, the CACC announced today.

DeGrushe, a 5-foot-6 infielder, hit four homeruns in a three-game span during Felician’s 4-2 week. On March 31, her third-inning three-run homer provided all of her team’s offense in a Game 2 3-2 victory at Holy Family University. On Thursday, she hit tying and go-ahead solo shots in an eventual 3-1 home win over Molloy College, and also homered in a Game 2 loss. For the week, she hit .429 (6 for 14) and slugged 1.286 with seven runs scored and seven RBI in six games. She also walked five times without striking out.

Nicole Broecker has pitched 11 straight scoreless innings.

PHILADELPHIA - Senior Dara DeSocio (Cliffside Park, NJ) and junior Nicole Broecker (Staten Island, NY) each pitched four-hit shutouts as the Felician college softball team swept a Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference doubleheader from host Chestnut Hill College, 2-0 and 3-0, on Saturday afternoon at CHC Field. The twinbill took barely more than two-and-a-half hours to complete, including the time between games.

All of the offense in Game 1 came in the top of the fourth inning. Freshman Lauren DeGrushe (Guttenberg, NJ) drew a leadoff walk, was sacrified to second base, and scored on Rebecca Dodd's (Oakland, NJ) single to right field. One out later, Dodd came home on a fielding error.

LODI, N.J. – Felician College redshirt freshman shortstop Lauren DeGrushe (Guttenberg, NJ/High Tech) hit three solo homeruns during her team’s non-conference doubleheader split with visiting Molloy College on Thursday afternoon at Kennedy Park. Felician won Game 1, 3-1, before Molloy took Game 2, 9-2.

The Golden Falcons (7-12) fell behind, 1-0, in the third inning of the opener on a two-out solo homer by the Lions’ Michelle Walsh (Bellerose, NY/Mary Louis Academy). But that was the last baserunner allowed by Felician right-hander Nicole Broecker (Staten Island, NY/Moore Catholic), who finished with a two-hitter. Broecker (2-5) retired her final 13 batters, struck out seven, and walked none, and also went 2 for 3 with a double at the plate.
