Higher education was the main topic of discussion at the 23rd Annual Alfred E. Hoberman Legisla-tors’ Day forum for students, faculty and community members alike hosted by Lock Haven University Friday af-ternoon.
Several state and federal leg-islators were available to discuss their most recent endeavors and answer questions from the public. Joanne Hoberman, Alfred’s widow, was also in attendance.
Host David Russell, LHU’s legislative committee chair, started the forum by giving a brief speech on the importance of this annual event for everyone in the surrounding com-munity as well as for legislators. Before introducing the legislators, Russell spoke on the importance of education.
“Education in and of itself makes people more prosperous,” he said.
U.S. Rep. Glenn Thompson, R-Howard, kicked off the forum by thanking the audience for attending. He said it’s important for communi-ties to be present and make them-selves heard.
Thompson told of his lifetime passion for education.
Rep. Mike Hanna, D-Lock Haven, addressed Gov. Tom Corbett’s current budget proposal. Although Corbett proposed a 3.3 percent in-crease for education, Hanna is wor-ried the money will come “with strings attached.”
Hanna said it’s unfortunate that the proposed $25 million increase will go directly to PHEAA (Pennsyl-vania Higher Education Assistance
Agency), a student aid provider.Because Corbett’s budgets
have not been so kind to higher edu-cation in the past, cutting about $93 PLOOLRQ� VLQFH� KH� FDPH� LQWR� RIÀFH� LQ�2011, some PASSHE (Pennsylvania State System of Higher Education) schools have proposed seceding from the state system.
Hanna proposed a two-part plan that he believes would not only keep the 14 PASSHE schools togeth-er, but also strengthen the system as a whole.
“I’ve got a plan…” he said. “My goal would be to make the sys-tem larger.”
Hanna has served on the Board of Governors for about eight years and believes they have too much central control. He believes that, if there are more schools put into the system and less central control, Penn-sylvania’s higher education programs will be more prosperous.
Hanna’s proposal is currently being drafted. He hopes to present his draft to the House in April.
Rep. Kerry Benninghoff, R-Bellefonte, focused on the debt many higher education students have accu-mulated.
“We have to be realistic. These aren’t democrat or republican issues,” he said. “Our country has collected over $1 trillion in higher education debt.”
Benninghoff believes that a good way to combat this debt is for parents and high schools to have “honest conversations” with college-bound students about where the jobs are in this generation’s market.
Richard Mirabito, D-William-sport, took a different approach from Benninghoff, stating “You can’t dis-cuss the issue of education without discussing the issue of poverty in this country.”
Mirabito said that high-in-come students who perform poorly in academics still have about an 80 percent chance to go to college, while low-income students who are strong in academia may only have about a 20 percent chance.
Mirabito stated that about RQH�LQ�ÀYH�FKLOGUHQ�OLYH�LQ�FRQFHQWUDW-ed poverty. Without these intelligent and motivated youth gaining their education, he said, America’s future will be lacking.
“Young people are human capital,” Mirabito said.
Although more than 50 stu-dents, faculty members and mem-bers of the surrounding community attended the forum, very few had questions for the legislators. Instead, several audience members decided to make some suggestions.
“We are not puppets…” one woman said. “Let education alone.”
Amanda Falls, a senior social work major, also had an idea for the legislators.
She recommended they better fund and support the Trio Programs,
part of the Higher Education Act. These programs are designed to help children from poorer families have better access to higher education.
They reach out especially to WKRVH� ZKR� ZRXOG� EH� ÀUVW� JHQHUDWLRQ�college students and help teens to make informed decisions.
Benninghoff responded to her advice in agreement.
“There are opportunities out there,” he said. “We need to do a better job at talking to 10th, 11th and 12th graders so they know better what to look out for” in terms of student aid.

Newbery Award-winning author to visit campus for book reading Cierra CookStaff [email protected]
On Tuesday, April 8, the award-winning au-thor Susan Campbell Bartoletti will be having a read-ing and an open discussion of her work. This reading will be held in the Multi Purpose Room of the PUB at 7 p.m. This is a free event and is open to the public.
Bartoletti will host some other special events in addition to the open discussion. On April 9, Bar-toletti will host the Ross Library’s Food for Thought Luncheon. She will do a brief reading at this event also. She will read at Central Mountain Middle School as well as in LHU English, education, and history classrooms.
Bartoletti is the author of several books, both ÀFWLRQ�DQG�QRQÀFWLRQ��6KH�KDV�PDQ\�DZDUGV�LQFOXG-ing the John Newbery Medal.
“This semester at LHU, several of her books are being taught in literature, writing, history and education classes, as well as at Central Mountain Middle School,” professor Marjorie Maddox Hafer, di-
rector of creative writing, said. Some of Bartoletti’s works include “Grow-
ing up in Coal Country,” and “The Boy Who Dared.” These books were discussed in classes on campus.
“I expect that the students who have had the pleasure of reading some of her books this semester ZLOO� ÀQG� WKH� H[SHULHQFH� RI� PHHWLQJ� WKHLU� DXWKRU� D�unique and exciting one,” Dana Washington, profes-sor of the English department, said.
“Time and again students tell me how much meeting and listening to these authors changes their lives,” Maddox Hafer said. “Just recently, I received an email from a student still excited about an author she heard at LHU a decade ago. That’s the kind of impact we want to create and maintain.”
The poster advertising the event was designed by Michelle Albert, a junior, art major.
This event is sponsored by the English depart-
ment, the College of Liberal Arts and Education, and
the Women and Gender Studies Program.

Dozens of students gathered for the Take Back the Night event, which aims to raise awareness of un-reported rape and sexual assaults on campus, on the steps of Price Audito-rium on April 2.
“You are someone who has the power,” said Professor Lisette Shillig, who teaches English and also helps run the HOPE Center. “As students, you have more power than the faculty to let the administration know that you don’t want to be on a campus that allows sexual assault.”
The event is part of a na-tionwide movement that started in Pittsburgh in the 1970s and occurs in April, which is National Sexual Assault Awareness Month.
“You and thousands of others are here, making a statement – That we are not going to stand by and let sexual assault happen,” said Shillig.
According to the Rape, Abuse and Incest National Network, 60 percent of rapes are not reported.
To illustrate how common this situation is, students were asked
to look at the bottom of their cups for some kind of mark. An X symbolized rape, an O meant the drinker had EHHQ� URRÀHG� DQG� D� WULDQJOH� UHSUH-sented sexual assault.
Approximately 10 of the near 60 people in attendance had cups marked with an X. Out of those re-PDLQLQJ��DSSUR[LPDWHO\�ÀYH�RI�WKHP�held up cups with an O. Two more red cups, approximately, had trian-gles.
“Rape culture is not just a phrase on social media. It is some-thing that affects us all in our every-day lives,” said Alexa Weissert, a se-nior majoring in English who works at the HOPE Center.
Following the planned speakers, there was a time for any-body who wanted to speak to come forward and share their experiences with sexual assault or rape. Several students shared their own personal poetry that were inspired by their experiences.
“If you remain silent, noth-ing will ever change,” said Mark Smith, who works at LHU. “I hope you don’t remain silent, because who knows who else could be affected by it.”

‘American Horror Story’ serving up PaleyFestErika WhiteSports [email protected]
For those who have been living under a rock or don’t have internet, the co-creator of “American Horror Story”, Ryan Murphy, announced that the title for the fourth sea-son of “American Horror Story” will be...drum roll please… “FREAK SHOW”. Sorry guys, it’s not a circus or a carni-val if that’s what you were thinking. But hey, if it makes you feel any better, I was all about a ‘vampires in space’ theme.
The series, which will be set in the 1950’s and take place in Jupiter, FL, will follow one of the last known freak shows in the country led by Jessica Lange. Lange, who will be returning for her last season, will be portraying a German expatriate who is struggling to keep her show alive--be sure to notice some Marlene Dietrich themes in the character as Lange has repeatedly ex-pressed her love of the actress and is currently working on her German accent for the part.
Also, in terms of casting for next season, things aren’t looking too promising for fans of Lily Rabe and Taissa Farmiga as both are currently run-ning into scheduling problems. There has been no of-
ÀFLDO�ZRUG�IURP�HLWKHU�DFWUHVV�LI�WKH\�ZLOO�EH�UHWXUQLQJ�RU�QRW��0XUSK\�GLG�VD\��however, that actors from seasons one and two could possibly return for Freak Show. Can I put in a petition to get Zachary Quinto (aka Dr. Threadson) back?
2WKHUV�WKDW�KDYH�EHHQ�FRQÀUPHG�WR�UHWXUQ�LQFOXGH�IDQ�IDYRULWHV�6DUDK�Paulson and Evan Peters, along with Francis Conroy, Gabourey Sidibe, Emma Roberts, Denis O’Hare, Angela Bassett, Kathy Bates and Jamie Brewer.
Emmy award winning actor Michael Chiklis, who is best known for his roles in “The Shield” and “Fantastic Four”, will also be joining the cast next season. And according to Murphy (which I use caution since he enjoys playing cat and mouse with his audience) Chiklis will be playing the father of Peters’
character and the ex-husband of Bates’. Hmm, I’m intrigued. Most of the actors have been hush hush on the details for
next season—I would be too! All I can picture is Ryan Murphy wheeling Douglas Petrie, one of the “American Horror Story” writers who accidently divulged information on season four be-
fore it was announced, on a spit and cackling. Not the point. Paulson did reveal that she has been working on a “special skill” for “Freak Show”, but that seems to be
all the information that she’ll disclose. Could you be a little more vague Sarah?
For this upcoming season, Murphy hinted that they’ll be using just as much humor as they did in “Coven” which is one of the elements that
made the third season so wildly popular. However Paulson and Lange have both stated that their favorite season thus far has been “Asylum” due to its immense dark nature and that they hope to be given more roles that challenge them as actors. Hint hint writers.

Why ‘Almost Human’
should be renewed

Back in January Mindy Ka-ling’s “The Mindy Project” went on a two month hiatus and left us with a literal Cliff-hanger. In the last epi-sode before the break we were stuck wondering whether Mindy would continue to try and win back her ex-boyfriend Cliff, or throw it away to be with Danny.
This past Tuesday “The Min-dy Project” returned and answered all of our questions.
From the beginning of the series we were led to believe Mindy and Danny would end up together. Following the classic Nora Ephron rom-com pattern the show is loosely based off of, it was apparent they ZHUH�GHVWLQHG�WR�HYHQWXDOO\�ÀQG�HDFK�other. We just didn’t expect it would be so soon. After all, it’s only season two.
The series came back with a double header, giving us a full hour to catch up on what Shulman and Associates have been doing over the past couple months and it certainly made up for its absence. It started with Danny and Mindy returning IURP�/RV�$QJHOHV�WR�ÀQG�&OLII�JUHHW-ing her in New York with a romantic grand gesture, a mariachi band.
It’s clear right away that Mindy wants to be with Danny, but her conscious takes over so she de-cides to go with Cliff and hear him out. While the strong feelings be-tween Mindy and Danny feel incred-ibly rushed, it’s hard not to root for them. It just feels really premature.
Breaking up with Cliff doesn’t go as easily as planned. :KLOH�VKH·V�WKHUH��KH�HQGV�XS�ÀQGLQJ�out his grandmother passed and re-verts to child-like state of mourning. Too guilt ridden to leave him at this SRLQW�VKH�GRHV�WKH�ÀUVW�ORJLFDO�WKLQJ�she can think of, act crazy to drive
him away.Things continue to escalate
from there and Mindy ends up com-ing clean at the worst possible time, Cliff’s grandmother’s funeral. It’s re-OLHYLQJ�WR�ÀQDOO\�VHH�&OLII�RXW�RI�WKH�way. Besides, he is just another dis-posable white guy in the long line of disposable white guys Mindy tends to date.
Before jumping right into a relationship with Danny, it would be nice for Mindy to spend some time alone. We’ve spent most of the series watching her jump around from guy to guy and relationship to relation-ship. Girl needs some time to herself.
Kaling’s writing and acting continues to be as sharp as ever and if you haven’t been watching, now is as good a time as ever to start. See what Mindy, Danny, and the rest of the gang are up to by tuning into “The Mindy Project” Tuesdays at 9 p.m. on FOX.

7KH�KLJKO\�DQWLFLSDWHG�ÀUVW�HGL-tion of the critically acclaimed book se-ries “Divergent” hit theaters this past weekend.
The movie directed by Neil Burger features the life of a girl (Shailene Woodley) in a futuristic Chi-cago that is placed in a political system of factions. After a great war the faction system was developed to keep the peace within the society. The main character Tris must choose which faction she will become a part of. Will she choose to stay with her family in their faction, or will she join the daredevil Dauntless faction?
Woodley brought great life to her character Tris. She wrestles with KHU� IDWH� RI� ÀQGLQJ� RXW� VKH� LV� � GLYHU-gent, and struggles to pass the initia-tion within the faction. She encounters
James’ character, a mysterious man named Four (Theo James) who helps KHU� LQ�KHU�VWUXJJOH� WR�ÀJXUH�RXW�ZKDW�being a divergent means. The relation-ship between these characters will keep you wanting more.
The strife of the characters in their initiation process’ and how much weight is put on this is something that struck me. Once these characters choose a faction they cannot go back home. This one choice predicts their whole future and whether they become the factionless. The pressures of this causes one of the characters to commit suicide, because he was at the bottom of the class and faced becoming faction-less. These pressures are a theme that is intertwined throughout the whole movie, and are reminiscent of the pres-sures of society..

Don’t get bored in your relationship Dayna Bloch Managing Editor [email protected]
There’s a moment in each relationship when you
realize you’re bored; the sparks are gone, there’s no
passion and you’re mind is starting to drift towards
other people. If you’re truly in love with the person,
or at least want to be with them, realize why this
LV�KDSSHQLQJ�DQG�ÀJXUH�RXW�D�ZD\�WR�À[�WKLV� ¶UXW·�you’re stuck in, or just move on completely.
Predictability. 7KH�GDLO\�URXWLQH�\RX�DQG�\RXU�VLJQLÀFDQW�RWK-
er have is mundane; nothing new is happening and
it feels like you’re stuck. Spice it up; whether it’s in

Better options. Everywhere you turn, you see better dating po-
tentials. You care about your partner, but can’t stop
feeling like you settled and deserve more. If this is
the case you don’t have much choice but to let go.
Break up, go out and have a good time. It might
bring the fun you’ve been craving.
Together time. Time together should be great, but too much
can quickly become claustrophobic and overwhelm-
ing. Hanging out with your own friends or doing
WKLQJV�VHSDUDWHO\�FDQ�EH�D�TXLFN�À[��\RX�QHHG�WLPH�to miss one another every once in a while.
Laziness. It is easy to confuse comfort ability with la-
ziness. After a few months of being together you
should feel ok lounging in sweats and ordering in.
That doesn’t mean you stop putting effort into plan-
ning date nights, highlighting your hair or splurg-
ing on a new pair of jeans that make your butt look
good. Even though you have them, doesn’t mean
you should stop trying to impress them.
Annoyance. It might be the way they chew their food or the
pitch of their voice, but something irks you. If it’s
something they can change, open up and commu-
nicate with your partner. If it’s just part of their
being learn to deal or get out. Ignoring something
that bothers you can only lead to bad things in your
relationship.
Single memories. There might always be a moment or two when
your single life seems more glorious than the rela-
tionship you’re in now. It might be a passing phase
but you need to learn to appreciate your partner.
2WKHU� WKDQ� ÁLUWLQJ� ZLWK� WKH� RSSRVLWH� VH[�� JR� RXW�and do the same things you did in your single life.
Goals. While planning your entire life together can be
scary, not having any goals together will leave the
two of you with nothing to look forward to, which
easily leads to boredom in a relationship. Plan
something, it will make both of you feel passionate
about working towards a common thing.
Boring sex. Everything about a relationship can get repeti-
tive, including what you do in the bedroom. Play

Ditch your winter duds for spring Lisa Conner Staff Writer [email protected]
Spring is here and that means that it is time to change out the
FORWKHV� LQ�\RXU� FORVHW�� �$OWKRXJK�ZH�DUH�DOO� H[FLWHG� WR�H[FKDQJH�RXU�ZLQWHU�clothes for spring clothes, there are still some who are clinging to the items
that are appropriate for fall and winter. To make this fashion adjustment a
little easier for you, here are some tips to follow to avoid some fashion mis-
haps.
The days of boots and Uggs are over. I love my combat boots just the same as anyone, but it is time to store
these items away for the fall season. More appropriate shoes to wear during
WKLV�ZDUP�ZHDWKHU�DUH�WHQQLV�VKRHV��VDQGDOV�DQG�ÁDWV���:HDULQJ�D�SDLU�RI�9DQV�or Chucks with your jeans and capris will be much more fashionable and ap-

is time to say goodbye to them. Scarves are only deemed acceptable during
the fall and winter months. Now that warmer weather is here, you no longer
are in need of it to keep you warm. As a substitute, try wearing a long navel

Kiss the beanies goodbye. �%HDQLHV�DQG�RWKHU�ZLQWHU�KDWV�DUH�QRZ�RIÀFLDOO\�RXW�RI�VHDVRQ��
I myself am sad to say goodbye to my beanie, but it is important to re-
member its purpose. Now that it is warmer, it is no longer needed. You may
look a little silly sporting a tank top while wearing a winter hat as well. If you
feel the need to wear a hat, look into purchasing a trucker hat or a baseball
cap.
Hopefully these tips will make your transition from your winter clothes to
your spring clothes a little easier.

Get your nails on trend
Jaimee Kester Lifestyles Editor [email protected]

Spring is a time for fresh and clean
looks. No look is complete without a
PDQLFXUH� WKDW� UHÁHFWV� WKH� FXUUHQW�season. This spring bright fun colors
are in style along with new edgy, but
simple designs. Say so long to crazy
nail art designs because this spring is
all about simple but fabulous looks.
A huge hit this spring is light and
bright blues. Turquoise, minty greens
and pastel blues are all popular colors.
Essie’s spring collection includes all of
these colors with special emphasis on
Hide & Go Chic, a bright turquoise,
and Fashion Playground, a pistachio
green hue.
A big nail trend seen on the spring
runways was understated yet inter-
esting looks. The best way this was
shown was a modern french mani-
cure. Holmes and Yang’s models were
sporting sheer nails with a colorful
tip. This keeps your look simple but
fun.
Filling in your half-moons has
been a trend for sometime now. Milly
took a fresh spin on this by having her
models sport nude nails with white
half-moons. This keeps your look
sleek, clean and professional.
Besides just blues other colors
popular this spring are lady like shim-
mers, tropical brights, pastels and me-
tallics. All of these have been seen in
previous seasons, but pair them with
some of the above mentioned trends
and you’ll be ahead of the season’s
nail trends.

I don’t know about you, but I’m not into wasting my time or my money, and with these changes in general education requirements I feel OLNH�,·YH�GRQH�MXVW�WKDW��$V�D�GRXEOH�PDMRU��ÀIWK�\HDU�VHQLRU��,�ÀQG�LW�DQQR\LQJ�WKDW�,�FRXOG�KDYH�JUDGX-ated a semester earlier if not for general education credit requirements that have now been changed. From what I could understand of the rather FRQIXVLQJ� HPDLO� IURP� WKH� 3URYRVW·V� RIÀFH� DQG� WKH�updated general education section of the LHU web-site, the most noticeable change is now only one lab science and two seminars are required. These changes go into effect fall of 2014 and include cur-rent students, not just incoming freshmen. However, all graduating seniors still have to take these classes instead of having the option to drop them now (if they are currently in them) or to drop the class from their transcript if they so chose. If you didn’t get a high grade in that now extrane-ous science lab and/or seminar class, it is going to remain an unnecessary hindrance to your GPA that
students next semester won’t have to deal with, provided they have not already taken the class. This is what I have the biggest problem with: I wasted my money and time that I could have spent focusing on classes for my major only to have my GPA brought down by classes that have now been declared irrelevant. This grievance will likely be dismissed by the notion that I gained experience and knowledge from these classes and it was part of receiving a ZHOO�URXQGHG�HGXFDWLRQ��7KDW·V�ÀQH��,�JHW�WKDW��,�WR-tally agree with having a well-rounded education and I have to say, I’ve learned a lot from most of my gen. ed. classes. However, when classes are suddenly not required, and I’ve spent my own money on these courses and I had to go into these classes knowing that lab science is not my strong point, these classes have become nothing more than a hindrance to my academic career.

need to encourage the importance of knowledge on international matters. Anything that can be done to break the “dumb American” stereotype is a step in the right direction. However, a lot of students express unhap-piness with the foreign language requirements for B.A. majors. The way we approach foreign language is one of the areas most in need of reform (and don’t believe the rumors fellow B.A. majors—we are still required to take through level four of a foreign lan-guage). But I don’t think changing things at the col-lege level is going to do much. The reevaluation of what we should be learning should begin with K-12 education. American public education needs to le-gitimately start teaching second languages from el-ementary school like other countries do. That way, it won’t be necessary to take four semesters of it in college because we will already be familiar with the language. Overall, I think the general education FKDQJHV� DUH� EHQHÀFLDO� WR� VWXGHQWV�� ,W� ZLOO� DOORZ�them to focus more on classes for their major and teach them how to become global citizens. However, for graduating seniors like me, all it does is high-light wasted time, money and brainpower.

So, next time you’re not sure if your paper is worthy of an A, please take some time to visit the Writing Center. You’ll be thankful that you did!

The 2014 NCAA men’s basketball tournament has come a long way since the First Four round. This year’s tournament has seen some of the biggest surprises in tournament history. Cal Poly, who had one of the worst records as a team who made the WRXUQDPHQW�FXW��ZRQ�LWV�ÀUVW�JDPH�RI�WKH�ELJ�GDQFH��Mercer bounced Duke in the round of 64 for perhaps the most devastating and unforeseen upset of the tournament. These moments along with others from the big dance have left just four teams standing as ZH�HQWHU�WKH�ÀQDO�ZHHN�RI�WKH�VHDVRQ�
The Florida Gators are the lone one seed left in the tournament and have played incredible team-basketball to this point. The Wisconsin Badgers worked their way through the West region and ultimately upended the Arizona Wildcats to get to this point. The Connecticut Huskies have taken-on the role of underdogs (no pun intended) and upset their way to the Final Four. The Kentucky Wild-cats pulled-together and were able to overcome in-dividual issues to play to their full-team-potential,
which has brought them this far. One thing is for sure about this Final Four: all seeds can be thrown out-the-window as these two games are bound to be two of the most competitive in college basketball history.
1 Florida Gators (playing Connecticut)
The Gators have played arguably the best bas-ketball of any team left in the tournament. Florida plays a balanced game that leans just a bit towards the defensive end of the ball, where they overpower and overwhelm opponents by disrupting their of-fense and controlling the boards.
2 Wisconsin Badgers (playing Kentucky)
Despite having two underdog teams in the Final Four, the Wisconsin Badgers have probably been the most-underrated team in the tournament this year as they quietly tore-through the West re-gion to get to this point. Wisconsin uses this under-estimation from opponents to their advantage and barrages most everyone they play with a deadly of-fensive assault.
7 Connecticut Huskies (playing Florida)
The Connecticut Huskies aren’t supposed to
be in this year’s Final Four. No, many people had the Huskies losing in the round of 64 against Saint Joe’s and if Connecticut was picked to win against the Hawks, most people had them losing to the Vil-lanova Wildcats in the round of 32. Against all odds, the Huskies are here, stunning and upsetting their way to North Texas as perhaps the most disregard-ed team without a one or two seed.
8 Kentucky Wildcats (playing Wisconsin)
The Kentucky Wildcats have really brought their game to another level as-of-late which has propelled them to this point. It all started when the Wildcats edged out the one seed Wichita State shockers in the round of 32, from there Kentucky rolled with wins against in-state rival Louisville and number two seed Michigan. The Wildcats use their size and strength effectively on both sides of the ball, particularly when controlling the boards.
The Final Four begins in North Texas on Sat-XUGD\��$SULO��WK��7KH�ÀUVW�JDPH�RI�WKH�GD\�ZLOO�EH�Florida versus Connecticut which is slated for a 6:00 P.M. EST start and the second game is between Wisconsin and Kentucky at 8:45 P.M. EST, both of which will be broadcast on TBS.
The Lock Haven University softball team (6-17, 1-7 PSAC East) dropped both games of a PSAC East doubleheader Wednesday, April 2 at East Stroudsburg University (8-13, 3-3 PSAC East).
LHU dropped game one, 5-4 as ESU ral-lied for the win in the bottom of the seventh inning. The Warriors completed the sweep with a 2-0 win in game two of the twin bill.
Lock Haven’s four game-one runs came off eight hits, including a two-run home run from Chelsea Edwards (Horsham, Pa./Hatbro-ro-Horsham) in the top of the second inning.
Jodi Weaknecht (Kutztown, Pa./Kutz-town) was 2-for-4 with two runs scored and Sarah Schwalm (Dauphin, Pa./Central Dau-
phin) was 2-for-3 with a RBI.Pitchers Rachel Mouillesseaux (Endicott,
N.Y./Union Endicott) and Jessie Probst (Har-risburg, Pa./Central Dauphin) combined for three strikeouts.
ESU pitcher Laura Suits was the story in game two, as she pitched a two-hit shutout.
Michelle Holweger (Landsdale, Pa./North Penn) and Edwards picked up Lock Haven’s hits.
Probst started game two and threw four LQQLQJV�RI�IRXU�KLW�EDOO��3UREVW�VWUXFN�RXW�ÀYH�before giving way to Mouillesseaux, who didn’t JLYH�XS�D�KLW�LQ�WKH�ÀQDO�WZR�LQQLQJV�RI�DFWLRQ��Mouillesseaux added four strikeouts as The Haven duo was solid in the circle despite the loss.
