HOW IT HAPPENED
- Game One
- No. 19 MSOE (16-4, 9-3 NACC) provided starter Kennedy Lehn some run support early thanks to RBIs from Kara McKenna and Lauren Stefanczyk in back-to-back innings.
- The 2-0 lead didn't last long though as Concordia Chicago (11-11, 5-4 NACC) tied the game in the fourth off a single and bases loaded walk.
- The Raiders didn't let that phase them however as Stefanczyk and Caitlyn Spreitzer drove in two runs during the next half inning to give MSOE the 4-2 advantage.
- Lehn locked things down from there and gave up just two hits from the fifth inning on as the Red & White won 4-2.
- Game Two
- There was no giving up of any leads in game two. Sarah Grossman got the start for MSOE and went all seven without surrendering a single run to the Cougars.
- Meanwhile, the Raiders were busy on the other side of the ball. Stefanczyk kept her productive day going by getting the Red & White on the board in the first inning with an RBI single before Spreitzer doubled in a run during the top of the third with Stefanczyk singling in two more just one batter later.
- MSOE added one last run via a McKenna single to lock down a 6-0 victory for the doubleheader sweep.
