Last Time Out
 • Tori Livingston's two-out, two-RBI single during a three-run 5th inning highlighted Trinity International's first conference victory in nearly five years, as the Trojans split Tuesday's doubleheader against the Cardinal Stritch Wolves, winning game two 3-0 after falling in the opener 6-0.
 • Freshman pitcher Taylor Carli recorded her first career shutout in the win, working around eight hits and striking out three. The Lombard, Ill. native worked efficiently, not allowing any walks throughout the game while none of the eight hits allowed were for extra bases.

Justine Wigboldy's one-out single started the run, before three straight Trojans reached base with two outs on the board. Following an Allison Naujokas walk that moved Wigboldy to second, sophomore catcher Alyssa Doomis gave Trinity the lead with a single to right center. Livingston then added two more insurance runs with another single, scoring both Naujokas and Doomis.
