SCHENECTADY, NY -- All three seniors played a role in Union College's softball sweep over Skidmore College Sunday at Alexander Field on Senior Day. The Dutchwomen won the opener, 7-3, and took the second game, 9-2, and improved to 19-11 on the season, 9-3 in league play. The Thoroughbreds are now 12-18 and 6-6 and are the #4 seed in the Liberty League Tournament that begins Thursday.

Union jumped out to a 4-0 first inning lead with consecutive RBI doubles by Wolejko and Allyson Staats, later followed by Camille Corbin's two run homer, her ninth blast of the season. Schmidt hit a two run shot to center in the fourth inning, her first homer of 2014, and Union got an RBI double by Palleschi in the sixht. All nine batters had at least one hit for the Dutchwomen, and Dani Hennel joined Wolejko and Molly O'Brien with two hits each.

Brittany Osborn opened the scoring for the Thoroughbreds with her first homer of the year in the second inning. Union scored three times in the third highlighted by an RBI single by Staats and a two-out RBI double by Corbin. Union made it 5-1 in the fourth with RBI hits by Palleschi and Staats. Skidmore's lone run in the fifth came on a passed ball. The Dutchwomen sent all nine batters to the plate and scored four times in the sixth, featurin a two run single by Staats and an RBI single by Joanna Chalifoux.
