ROSEMONT, Ill. - With yet another sweep on their resume the TIU Softball team has now won eight straight games dating back to April 12th after winning both games against Roosevelt University on Saturday evening.

The Sophomore went 3-4 on the night, including a single, triple, her fourth HR of the year., and five RBI's. Lauren Neveau also continued her strong season, going 3-5 while driving in three runs.

After the Trojans took an early 9-1 lead the Lakers would not go down easily, rallying for 5 runs in the final three innings, but Taylor Carli was strong inside the circle yet again, closing it out for her 11th win of the season.

In game two the Trojans and Lakers found themselves in a battle through all 7 innings. Roosevelt got out to a fast start, doubling in a run in the bottom of the 2nd to make it a 1-0 game.
