Roe Hits Three Home Runs, St. Cloud State Softball Sweeps Mavericks for First Time Since 2019
4/16/2026 11:10:00 PM | Softball
Roe ties single game home run record, Huskies extend series sweep streak to three
ST. CLOUD, Minn. – St. Cloud State Softball (33-11, 15-3 Northern Sun Intercollegiate Conference) earned its first sweep of Minnesota State since April 19, 2019, on Thursday at Husky Stadium in St. Cloud, winning game one 11-9 (8 innings) before shutting the Mavs out 3-0 in game two. Senior infielder Sydney Roe (Davenport, Iowa) hit three home runs in the twinbill and tied the program record for home runs in a game with two in the first game including a walk-off two run shot in the eighth. With the pair of wins, the Huskies extended their series sweep streak to three.
GAME ONE: ST. CLOUD STATE 11, MINNESOTA STATE 9 (8 INN.)
Minnesota State (25-17, 12-6 NSIC) struck first, taking a 1-0 lead with an RBI-double in the second inning, but the Huskies evened the score in the next half inning after a MSU wild pitch allowed a run to score. The Mavericks regained a one-run advantage in their next time up to bat after laying down a sacrifice bunt to score.
SCSU took its first lead of the game in the bottom of the fourth, going up 6-2 after scoring five runs on three hits. The Huskies tied the game on a wild pitch before sophomore catcher/infielder Morgan Honeycutt (Rosemount, Minn.) hit a two-RBI triple and Roe hit a two-run home run in back-to-back at-bats. MSU responded in a big way during the next half inning, taking a 9-6 lead after scoring seven runs on six hits. SCSU gave up an RBI-double and three two-RBI doubles in the frame.
The Huskies later tied the game in the bottom of the sixth with a sacrifice fly from Roe and a two-RBI single from redshirt sophomore utility Kaylee Collins (Lakeville, Minn.). MSU loaded the bases in the seventh with a single and a pair of walks, but were unable to convert, leaving the bases loaded. St. Cloud State went three up, three down, to send the game into extras. After a three up, three down inning of its own to start the eighth inning, Minnesota State conceded a walk-off two run shot from Roe in the next half inning and the Huskies escaped the rollercoaster of a game with an 11-9 victory.
TOP HUSKIES
Roe picked up right where she left off in game one, putting SCSU up 3-0 in the first inning with her third home run of the day. Despite its third and final hit of the game coming in the second inning, the Huskies held on to win after holding the Mavericks to just two hits over seven innings. Senior pitcher Macey Clark (Winneconne, Wis.) had a no-hitter going through 4 2/3 innings until MSU recorded its lone two hits of the game, back-to-back singles.

The Huskies close out the week in Winona on Sunday for a doubleheader against No. 24 Winona State (39-6, 18-2 NSIC) at 1 and 3 p.m. Links to each coverage option can be found on the SCSU Softball game day central or schedule page.
