Kurland, Crouthamel among key contributors to Saturday sweep for Penn State softball over Rutgers

Entering Saturday, Penn State needed its offensive surge from Friday night to continue.

Although the Nittany Lions recorded less hits than in the prior night, the call was nonetheless answered in both games Saturday against Rutgers, in part due to the efforts of juniors Ally Kurland and Lilia Crouthamel.

Kurland stood out in the first leg, recording two home runs: a two-run blast in the second inning, and a solo shot in the fourth.

Meanwhile, Crouthamel recorded two hits Saturday, including a two-RBI double in the sixth inning of the second leg to give the Nittany Lions a one-run lead that would eventually provide the margin of victory.
