Lakewood, N.J. - Georgian Court University unloaded for a season-high seven home runs Sunday as the Lions secured a pair of five-inning victories in a Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference doubleheader sweep of visiting Felician University.

Scoring two or more runs in four of the five frames, in a contest highlighted by long balls off the bats of Alyssa Rue, Adriana Mungo, and Alyssa Herrera, the Lions made quick work of the Golden Falcons, 10-2, in a five-frame finale that took only 1:11 to complete.

Already with a 1-0 lead, Rue crunched a two-run long ball in the home half of the first to increase the Lions' surplus to 3-0. The tandem of Mungo and Herrera went back-to-back in the fourth frame with a pair of solo shots to make it 7-2 GCU. A run-inducing ground out by Brittany Gable (4th-inn.), followed by a pair of run-scoring fielding blunders by the Golden Falcons in the fifth, brought the opener to a sudden halt in favor of the royal-and-blue.

Scattering 12 hits as a squad, Mungo (2-for-4, 2B, 2 R), Taylor Barraza (2-for-3, RBI), Rue (2-for-3, 2B), and Taylor Lipkins (2-for-2) each recorded multi-hit efforts. 

Mkayla Gilgert went all five innings en route to the pitching victory as the senior ace permitted 2 runs (1 ER) on just two hits (4 K). Alexis De La Cruz (Jr.-San Jacinto, Calif.) took the setback (4.2 IP, 12 H, 10, R, 7 ER, BB, K).

Opening the nightcap with a healthy 5-0 cushion, Felician (5-8, 3-3 CACC) bounced back to slice the deficit to 5-3, courtesy of back-to-back homers from Vienna Chierchia (R So.-Manalapan N.J.) (two-run shot) and Victorie Leon (Fr.-Sylmar, Calif.), in the third. Rue and Mungo (two-run) struck again in the bottom of the inning as the duo enjoyed its second trip around the bases in leading the Lions to a 9-3 lead after three.

A two-run single from Chierchia made the score 9-5 in the fourth before the victors unloaded for four final tallies in the bottom of the stanza, which included back-to-back solo blasts from  Kaitlyn Stufft and Barraza (2-for-3, 3 RBI) to put a 13-5 triumph in the books for the Lions.

Mungo, with her family in town from Temecula, Calif., put on quite the performance as the sophomore went 2-for-4 with two runs scored and four RBI in game two (4-for-8, 4 R, 5 RBI on the day). Stufft, with her homer, now has gone deep a CACC-best nine times and owns 33 RBI over 24 contests.

Lipkins put together a second two-hit performance while coming around for three runs in the rout. 

Gilgert, with 1.1 innings of perfect relief, earned her second win of the afternoon to move to 11-4 overall. Martarina Crumb (Sr.-Branchville, N.J.) was tagged with the loss (3.0 IP, 10 H, 10 R, 10 ER, 2 BB).

The Lions (15-9, 4-0 CACC) now prepares for Thursday when they welcome Post University to campus for a CACC twin-bill commencing at 2:30 p.m.
