WATERVILLE, Maine — The Husson University softball team returned to action on Monday sweeping Colby College 5-1 and 3-0 on the road in non-conference action. 
 
Husson (11-9) benefited from a big second inning in Monday's in-state showdown scoring five runs to take a commanding 5-0 edge over Colby (10-10). 
 
Junior Lydia Rice singled in the Eagles first run, while sophomore Lyndsee Reed connected on a two-RBI single to give Husson a 3-0 advantage.
 
Senior Bulla McCabe laced a two-RBI double to score the Eagles final two runs. 
 
That would be all of the run support graduate student Sky Johnson would need as she tossed seven innings, allowing just one run, six hits and striking out four to pick up her sixth win on the season. 
 
McCabe finished 2-3 at the plate while, Reed, graduate student Julia Gregoire, senior Tori Exel, senior Kiara McLeod and Rice all recorded hits. 
 
In the doubleheader finale, sophomore Ana Lang tossed a complete-game, four-hit performance, recording four strikeouts. 
 
The Eagles took a 1-0 advantage following a sacrifice flyout from McLeod in the fourth and added two more runs in the fifth inning, the first on a bases loaded walk by junior Morgan Tainter and the second on a Colby miscue to come away with the 3-0 decision. 
 
Sophomore Camryn King finished with two hits for Husson, while senior Tatyanna Biamby, McCabe and Exel all posted hits. 
 
The Eagles return to action on Thursday when they host Plymouth State University at 3 and 5 p.m.
