Roosevelt hands Huskies first loss of 2026, SCSU bounces back in game two with win over Wis.-Parkside
ROSEMONT, Ill. – St. Cloud State Softball (5-1, 0-0 Northern Sun Intercollegiate Conference) had its perfect start to the 2026 season snapped in its first game of the Lewis Dome Invitational at The Dome at the Ballpark in Rosemont, Illinois on Thursday before winning its second game to earn a split. Roosevelt took the Huskies down in game one, 3-2, but SCSU beat Wis.-Parkside, 5-1 in game two.
GAME ONE: ROOSEVELT 3, ST. CLOUD STATE 2
After giving up a walk and a single earlier in the inning, SCSU conceded a two-out, three-run home run in the top of the third, giving the Lakers (2-2, 0-0 Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic Conference) a 3-0 lead.
In the home half of the inning, junior infielder Brooke Holmes (Savage, Minn.) and junior catcher/infielder Bethany Weiss (Forest Lake, Minn.) hit back-to-back singles before senior infielder Sydney Roe (Davenport, Iowa) drove them both in with a two-RBI double to right field to bring the Huskies within one.
The Huskies left three runners stranded in the fourth and two more in the fifth and were unable to tie the game, falling 3-2.
TOP HUSKIES
Parkside (1-3, 0-0 GLIAC) hit an RBI-double in the first half inning of the game to take an early 1-0 lead, but the Huskies tied the game at one in the bottom of the second after junior outfielder Kori Needham (Milan, Ill.) hit a sacrifice fly to drive a run in for SCSU.
St. Cloud State plated what turned out to be the game-winning run in the bottom of the fifth when Palmer drew a bases loaded walk, driving junior outfielder Hannah Harms (Bartlett, Ill.), who was pinch running, home. The Huskies added their final three runs in the bottom of the sixth with a two-RBI single from Weiss and an RBI-single from sophomore catcher/infielder Morgan Honeycutt (Rosemount, Minn.).
Senior pitcher Macey Clark (Winneconne, Wis.) was excellent in the game, going the distance while only allowing one run on five hits. She struck out 10 batters and only walked two.
