GAME ONE BOX SCORE

Newtown, Pa. - Freshman pitcher Rachael Alligood (Levittown, Pa./Harry S. Truman) pitched a one-hit shutout as the Holy Family University softball team defeated Nyack College, 2-0, in a Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference (CACC) contest at Helen Randle Park Saturday morning.  

Rain played a factor in the doubleheader as game one was called after five innings and game two was postponed due to the weather and field conditions.

Holy Family improves to 6-21 overall and 3-8 in the CACC, while Nyack is now 5-25 overall and 3-10 in conference play.

Sophomore Danielle McDevitt (Williamstown, N.J./Williamstown) led the game off with a single and then freshman AnnMarie Dalton (Northampton, Pa./Northampton Area) launched her first homerun of the season to give Holy Family a 2-0 lead after one inning.  

With her hit in the first inning, McDevitt now has 98 career hits and is two hits shy of 100 for her career.

That would be all the Tigers would need as Alligood allowed only one hit the entire game.  She is now 3-3 on the year and struck out five batters.  

Holy Family is back in action on Sunday, April 17 as the Tigers host Concordia College in a CACC doubleheader.  Game one is slated for 12:30 p.m.
