The Express baseball team is currently 9-16 overall and 4-8 in OCCAC play. They are scheduled for an important four game series at home against Sinclair Community College this weekend, although weather has pushed it back to at least Saturday and Sunday.

Meanwhile, Iacoangeli helped the No. 15 Express softball team win three out of four games from conference opponents Lakeland Community College and Sinclair Community College. 

The leftfielder went 8-for-12 (.667) in conference action, while producing six runs, nine stolen bases, three RBIs and two walks. Overall, Iacoangeli was 10-for-16 (.625) with nine stolen bases, seven runs, two walks, three RBIs and a triple during five games last week.

She is tied for the team-highs in triples (four) and hits (34). Additionally, after swiping 66 stolen bases last year, she is on the verge of cracking the 100 career stolen base mark. She is currently at 93.

The Express softball team is currently 15-9 overall and 3-1 in OCCAC play. After their postponement against Cuyahoga on Wednesday, their next action is scheduled for Sunday on the road at No. 14 Mercyhurst North East Community College.
