Mont Alto, Pa. – The athletic department and the Penn State Mont Alto softball team celebrated Senior Day before first pitch as Brianna Glatz and Kaitlyn Whiteaker were honored for their hard work and accomplishments over the past four year. The Lions hosted Christendom College and put together one of their best performances of the season topping the Crusaders 8-1 and 2-1 in a rain shortened five-inning win.

- The game was called because of showers and lightning in the bottom of the fifth inning with the Lions up 2-1.
- Penn State Mont Alto out-hit the visitors 8-1 as Cassidy Feaser fanned six Crusaders and was credited with the win.
- The Lions opened the scoring in the first inning when Krista Feaser came around to score after she doubled to open the inning, stole second and scored on an error by the Christendom catcher.
- The eventual winning run was scored in the bottom of the third inning. Krista Feaser singled, stole second and third base and scored on an Alyssa Munns single through the left side of the infield.
