LOCK HAVEN, Pa. – The Lock Haven University softball team (1-7, 1-7 PSAC East) was downed by Kutztown University (13-2, 10-2 PSAC East) today in Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference (PSAC) Eastern Division play.
 
Kutztown managed their way to a 6-0 game-one win, but Lock Haven challenged the Golden Bears closely in game two. Kutztown held off a late rally by the Lock Haven contingent and came away with the win 3-2.
