The Trojans (7-19, 3-11 CCAC) collected just two hits in the opener, from Taylor Carli and Valerie D'Ambrosio. Carli scored TIU's lone run, avoiding the shutout in the 5th inning on Emily Doomis' sacrifice fly.

In game two, Tori Livingston and Jamie Stanton each collected two hits, not including the Trojans' 5th-inning rally in which Trinity's 4- and 5-hitters reached base with a walk and fielder's choice, respectively. Purdue-Calumet (14-15, 3-1 CCAC) jumped out to a big lead, scoring in each of the first four innings, pacing the Trojans 8-0 through the 4th.

A leadoff walk and back-to-back singles in the top of the 5th set the table to Alyssa Doomis' fielder's choice in which Justine Wigboldy scored on an error. Livingston's free pass as the next batter brought home Breanna Hansen, cutting into the Peregrienes' advantage. PUC would go on to score once more in the 6th and two more in the 7th to secure the doubleheader sweep.

The Trojans return home on Thursday afternoon, when they are scheduled to host the St. Ambrose Bees. First pitch on Thursday, April 14 is set for 3:00 p.m.
