SELINSGROVE, Pa. – Senior Teagan Bradley fired a five-hitter in the second game, lifting the Drew University softball team to a 2-1 victory at Susquehanna University on the final day of the regular season on Friday.
 
With their Game Two victory, the Rangers (20-20, 7-9 LC) clinched a spot in the Landmark Conference Championship tournament for the first time in a non-Covid season since 2008. They earned the No. 5 seed in the Landmark Conference Championship and will travel to No. 4 Wilkes University the first-round game on Tuesday at 3 p.m.
 
Junior Olivia Magliacano broke a pair of single-season school records with her third-inning triple in the second game. She surpassed the former Drew standard for hits (53) set by Madi Precht C'23 in 2022, and she also bettered the school record for triples (nine) that was held by Alexandra McCaffery C'02 since 2002. Magliacano also tied the Landmark Conference record for triples in a season, which was set by Brenna Balfour of Susquehanna in 2010.
 
The Rangers provided Bradley (8-8) with all the offense she would need when they scored two runs on three hits in the third. Junior Aurora Marino led off with a single before pinch-runner Daylin Evans was bunted over by sophomore Destiny Medina. Evans then scored on Magliacano's record-breaking three-bagger before junior Haley Meierhofer followed up with infield single to make it 2-0.                                   
 
Bradley no-hit the River Hawks (14-19, 10-6 LC) through the first 4 1/3 innings before yielding a one-out double in the fifth. A two-out single put runners on the corners, but Bradley escaped by inducing a pop-up to herself.
 
Susquehanna broke through with an unearned run on three hits and an error in the sixth. However, Medina erased the potential tying run when she threw out a runner attempting to steal second before Bradley retired the final four batters of the game.
 
Bradley did not issue a walk and struck out five.
 
Meierhofer went 3-for-4 in the second game.
 
The opener was a pitcher's duel between Drew freshman Gabby Duran and Susquehanna's Brianna Jones. Duran scattered seven hits, walked only one, and struck out two. Jones worked a two-hit shutout, striking out 12 without walking a batter.
 
It was a scoreless game until the bottom of the fourth, when the River Hawks scored once on three hits. Susquehanna added an insurance run in the sixth.
 
Jones did not yield a hit until senior Fran O'Kleasky hit a two-run double in the fourth. However, it was the only time Jones allowed a runner to reach second base for the game.
