Patchogue, N.Y. - The St. Joseph's College softball team (17-13, Skyline 7-5) had a successful weekend, going 3-1, against conference opponents, Sage (19-12, Skyline 7-5) and Mount Saint Vincent (8-24, Skyline 0-12).

Sage scored a run the top of the fourth and fifth to cut the lead to 3-2. A solo homerun by Alyssa Sieber (Massapequa, N.Y. / Massapequa) put St. Joseph's up 4-2 going into the top of the seventh. The blast by Sieber was the first Eagles homerun at their new home field. The Gators would rally to score four runs in the final inning to give them the game one victory.
In the second game, St. Joseph's found success behind the strong pitching of junior Julia De Carmine (Holtsville, N.Y. / Sachem East).

She would finish the game 2-for-4 with three RBI's in the 7-4 win.
The second game would be less dramatic for St. Joseph's. With Cassie Martinez on the mound, the Golden Eagles offense exploded for 10 runs. Julia De Carmine (second base), freshman centerfielder Julieanne Tierney (Bethpage, N.Y. / Bethpage), and junior leftfielder Gina Moscatelli (Massapequa, N.Y. / Massapequa) combined for five hits, three runs, and six RBI.
