GAME ONE
GAME TWO

LISLE, Ill. -- The Benedictine University softball team concluded a stretch of 16 games in 11 days by taking down Edgewood College in both ends of a doubleheader at home on Saturday afternoon. The Eagles won all 16 games in the stretch and remain unbeaten and atop the Northern Athletics Conference standings.

BENEDICTINE 11, EDGEWOOD 0 -- Game One (Five Innings)
Brittany Adcox won her 10th straight start by twirling a one-hitter in the shortened opener, carrying a no-hitter in to the fourth. Adcox struck out four in the five-inning complete game, her 10th of the year. The Eagles amassed all 11 runs in the first three innings.

Benedictine scored four times in the first inning to set the tone for the contest. Laura Christensen led off the game with a double and scored on an error. With one out Erin Galloway drove home two runs by singling through the left side. The final run of the inning crossed during a run-down on the base paths. 

A five-run outburst in the second inning pushed the lead to 9-0. Steff Rybarczyk and Aimee Mahoney singled to ignite the offense. Christensen doubled in one run before another scored on a wild pitch. Brittany Wolski plated a run with a groundout, Cassie Cappetto tripled in a run and Sam Corban singled home the final tally.

The Eagles finished the scoring in the third. With one out Christensen coaxed a walk before promptly stealing second and third. She scored on another RBI groundout by Wolski and another wild pitch allowed the final run to cross the plate.

Christensen and Cappetto anchored the offense with two hits apiece. Christensen scored three times as did Kara Walsh. 

BENEDICTINE 9, EDGEWOOD 5 -- Game Two
Benedictine stormed out to a 6-0 lead and held off a late Edgewood rally to notch their 16th consecutive victory.

The scoring opened in the second inning with four runs. Sam Corban recorded a one-out single up the middle and came around on a triple off the bat of Steff Rybarczyk. Jess Fiojlek followed by dropping down a bunt single to score Rybarczyk and make it 2-0. A double steal set the stage for Laura Christensen to drive in a run with a sacrifice fly. Brittany Wolski finished the scoring in the inning with triple to center.

Benedictine made it 6-0 with a pair of runs in the third. Edgewood responded by cutting the lead in half, plating three unearned runs in the fifth. It took just three batters in the bottom of the inning to extend the lead to 8-3 as Rybarczyk tripled home a run and Fijolek poked an RBI single.

Edgewood pulled within 8-5 by chasing Sam Corban from the contest in the sixth, scoring twice before an out was made. Benedictine picked up an insurance run in the bottom of the sixth to account for the final tally.

Steff Rybarczyk was 3-for-4 with a pair of triples, two runs scored, and three RBIs to power a 14-hit attack. Erin Galloway and Sam Corban also had two hit games at the plate. 

Benedictine (25-4, 14-0 NAC) will put its win streak on the line when it play the final home games of the season on Tuesday afternoon when last season's NAC representative in the NCAA Tournament, Concordia Wisconsin, comes calling for a 3:00 p.m. double dip.
