Scott set the new record during the second game of Monday’s double-header against Penn State Schuylkill, played at Heindl Field. She is the 2021 USCAA Softball Player of the Year and also holds the Penn State DuBois record for most strikeouts.

The match-up between Schuylkill and DuBois proved to be a split one, with Schuylkill winning the first game with a score of 16-4 and DuBois coming out on top for game two at 5-4.

The lady lion’s season continued on Tuesday with another double-header at home against Penn State Beaver. Scott earned another win on the mound, starting the game off for Penn State DuBois. Game one remained tied until the bottom of the seventh, when Skylar Ceprish drove in the winning run, ending the game 5-4.

The second game continued to be exciting, with Shyanne Lundy hitting a home run over the center field wall, bringing in an RBI. Game two also remained tied, entering the teams into extra innings. Lundy earned her second RBI in the bottom of the ninth, driving in a run to end the series in a sweep with a final score of 5-4.
