ERIE, Pa. – The Westminster College softball team fell to Penn State Behrend, 1-0, on Sunday afternoon in the Eastern College Athletic Conference (ECAC) Championship Semifinals.
 
Westminster (28-10) and Penn State Behrend (32-12) were locked in a pitcher's duel for the first four innings. Titan senior Jazmyn Rohrer (Purcellville, VA / Woodgrove) gave up just two hits through the first four innings, while Penn State Behrend pitcher AJ Nichols gave up three. In the top of the fifth inning, Lion left fielder Angela Sullivan doubled down the right field line and advanced to third on a throwing error. During the next at bat, Sullivan scored on a passed ball, giving the Lions a 1-0 lead. With no outs in the bottom half of the fifth inning, Westminster sophomore Lauren McNany (Emlenton, PA / Allegheny-Clarion Valley) and senior Hannah Ritter (New Castle, PA / Shenango) hit back-to-back singles to put runners on second and first.
