LOCK HAVEN, Pa. – The Lock Haven University softball team (21-9, 10-0 PSAC) used some outstanding pitching from Bekah Slattery (Douglassville, Pa./Daniel Boone) and Kayla Gee (Williamsport, Pa./Loyalsock) to go along with some timely hitting to sweep Pitt-Johnstown (8-14, 4-6 PSAC Central) and move to a perfect 10-0 in Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference (PSAC) Central Division action on the season.
 
The wins also pushed LHU's win streak to 14 games, the longest win streak the team has had since 2009 when the Bald Eagles were able to post win streaks of 19 games and 22 games on their way to winning the national championship.

Faith Ceely (Troy, Pa./Troy) led the Lock Haven offense, going 2-3 at the plate while Traci Kromko (Tunkhannock, Pa./Tunkhannock) added a hit as well.
