Saturday's Softball and Lacrosse Games for Shippensburg Postponed

April 21, 2006

SHIPPENSBURG, Pa. - In anticipation of rain in the region on Saturday, the Shippensburg softball doubleheader at home against Kutztown and the lacrosse game at East Stroudsburg have been postponed and rescheduled. The softball doubleheader at Robb Field has been moved to Sunday at 1:00 p.m., while the lacrosse game has been moved to Tuesday, April 25 at 4:00 p.m.

The Lady Raider softball team, who split a doubleheader at West Chester on Saturday, are 7-1 at Robb Field this season and have won their last six-straight at home. Shippensburg (31-13, 12-4 PSAC East) is currently ranked No. 14 in Division II and No. 2 in the Mid-Atlantic Region and split a doubleheader on the road with Golden Bears on April 6. Just one game separates the two teams atop the Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference (PSAC) Eastern Division standings.

Meanwhile, the Shippensburg women's lacrosse team is one-half game behind Millersville for the fourth and final spot in the PSAC championship while just two games separate the Bloomsburg, Millersville and the Lady Raiders for the last two spots. Shippensburg (5-6, 3-5 PSAC) defeated East Stroudsburg 12-4 at home on April 2 and beat Bloomsburg on the road 15-13 on April 6 while the Marauders edged the Lady Raiders 14-11 on April 7.

Lacrosse has four conference games remaining in the regular-season, two at home and two on the road, and the team is 3-1 against its remaining opponents. In addition to Bloomsburg, East Stroudsburg and Millersville, Shippensburg ends the season at home on April 29 versus Indiana (Pa.). The Lady Raiders defeated the Indians 14-8 on April 10.

As of Friday night, the PSAC Men's and Women's Team Tennis Championships being held at Shippensburg's Robb Sports Complex are still on time as scheduled.
