The Shippensburg University softball team split a pair of neutral-site games Sunday at Glenville State, dropping an 8-6 decision to Alderson Broaddus before defeating West Virginia State, 5-3, in action at the Sue Morris Softball Complex.
 
Shippensburg (7-3) yielded four runs with two outs in the fifth inning against Alderson Broaddus (4-6) and three runs in the sixth that proved insurmountable. The Raiders had 10 hits but left 13 runners on base against the Battlers.
 
Game 2 featured a complete-game victory in the circle from sophomore Tressa Kagarise, who struck out seven and allowed just two earned runs. Junior Courtney Coy hit a mammoth two-run home run to highlight the Raider offensive effort against West Virginia State (9-13).
 
Overall on the day, Coy was 5-for-9 at the plate. Freshman Alyssa Nehlen reached base five times, hitting a double and two singles and drawing two walks. Freshman Taylor Radziewicz hit a three-run double against Alderson Broaddus to highlight a three-hit day.
 
Senior Kayla Bonawitz finished the two games with four total hits, including a double and a triple.
 
Shippensburg heads to Virginia State next weekend for four games over the course of two days.
