UMD took a 1-0 lead in the bottom of the second inning after a sacrifice fly, but the Huskies responded with three runs of their own in the next half inning after RBI doubles from senior infielder Maggie Fitzgerald (Oak Lawn, Ill.) and junior infielder Sydney Roe (Davenport, Iowa) and an RBI triple from sophomore catcher/infielder Bethany Weiss (Forest Lake, Minn.).
The Bulldogs tied the game at three the next half inning and there was not another score change until the top of the sixth when SCSU took a two-run lead after RBI singles from Fitzgerald and sophomore infielder Brooke Holmes (Savage, Minn.).
