Freshman Genna Cicchetti opened the day with a three-hit effort before senior Kristina Qualben tied a school record with four hits in the nightcap of a doubleheader in which the Muhlenberg softball team fell to Ursinus, 7-2 and 5-4
 
Qualben's first two hits came in the extra-base variety and played a role in the Mules (18-16, 3-9 CC) taking a 4-0 lead. Following a leadoff double to right center in the second, she came around to score the game's first run before sending a two-run blast to the same place the following inning. In between, freshman Kristin Oberg scored on an Allyson Sweeney groundout.
 
Qualben is the second Mule to go 4-for-4 in a game this season, joining fellow senior Kristy Selby who did so against Misericordia in March. Her 35^th career two-bagger and 19^th career round-tripper give the senior 55 extra-base hits in a Mule uniform.
 
The hosts went on to score a run in each of the next two frames, before plating three in the bottom of the fifth. Muhlenberg threatened in both the sixth and seventh innings, having a runner reach third in the sixth and runners at second and third with two outs in the seventh.
 
Cicchetti (pictured above), who drove in Qualben in the second game, shined in the opener with her third three-hit game of the season. The frosh scored both of Muhlenberg's runs.
 
Oberg batted at both ends of the order, collecting two hits in the nine-hole in game one and one hit from the leadoff spot in game two. Classmate Sarah Raab, who had a double in the opener, saw her hit-streak come to an end at seven games, however drew a walk in the nightcap to extend her streak of reaching base safely to eight.
 
Oberg, Cicchetti, Sweeney and sophomore Elise Enslin each finished with one RBI.
