LANGHORNE (PA) - Sophomore Nicole Dorney went a combined 5-for-6 with four runs scored and seven RBIs and tied the school's all-time home run record in the process as Delaware Valley College easily swept host Philadelphia Biblical University in a non-conference doubleheader, 19-1 and 16-6.

Both games were called after five innings due to the eight-run mercy rule. The Aggies improved to 7-8 while the Crimson Eagles fell to 0-10.

Dorney smacked a two-run homer in the second inning of the opener for her second round-tripper of the season and the ninth of her brief collegiate career. She is now tied with 1994 graduate and Delaware Valley Hall of Famer Kelly Sciss for the top spot on the list.

Dorney, who played third base in the first game, finished the opener 2-for-3 with two runs scored and three RBIs. She had plenty of offensive help as the Aggies scored eight times in the first inning and added nine more in the second for a 17-0 lead.

Freshman second baseman Stephanie Sedeyn went 2-for-3 with a double, triple, three runs scored and five RBIs. Fellow rookie Katie Shallcross added a 1-for-2 performance with a double and three RBIs. Freshmen Christine Yacco and Chelsea Ysenchak scored three and two runs respectively. Yet another rookie, Nikki Zimmernan allowed just one run and three hits while improving her mark to 2-1.

In the nightcap, Delaware Valley trailed 6-5 after two innings of play, before exploding for six runs in the third and five more in the fifth. Dorney, who was behind the plate in this game, went a perfect 3-for-3 with a double, two runs scored and four RBIs. Shallcross, who picked up the win on the mound, went 2-for-3 with a double and three RBIs at the plate. Sophomore shortstop Kim Harle went 2-for-5 with a double, two runs scored and three RBIs while classmate Maureen Ferguson knocked in a pair of runs.
