Apr. 09– The Concordia University softball team (16-10, 3-0 NSIC) took their third straight at the NSIC crossover in convincing fashion with an 8-0 victory in five innings over the University of Minnesota, Crookston (0-13, 0-3 NSIC) at Dunning Softball Complex in St. Paul, Minn.
Mallory Olson socked a two-run home run and Abby Brundidge had a double and two more RBI for the recently high-powered Concordia offense.
But it wasn't the slugging that stole the show for CU in their third game of the day as they tore up the basepaths with five stolen bases: two apiece by Natalie Mast and Nikki Scherr and another by Anna Bjorlin.
Senior Mandy Turba picked up her second win of the day, blanking UMC through five near flawless innings as she allowed just three hits and a walk while fanning seven Golden Eagle hitters. The win equaled Turba's record at 7-7 on the year.
