MEQUON, Wis. – The Benedictine University softball team suffered their first Northern Athletics Conference loss of the season on Friday afternoon, splitting with Concordia University-Wisconsin. The Eagles dropped the first game 1-0 but came back to win game two, 9-2.

Brittany Wolski and Brittany Adcox singled to score a run and Kara Walsh doubled to score the fourth run of the inning.

 

Down 5-0, CUW chopped at their deficit in the bottom of the frame with two runs of their own. It would be the last time they scored as the Eagles went on to tally four more runs over the next four innings to take home the 9-2 victory.
