Vanessa Arandules (1-3, 2B) and
Alexis Pacheco (1-2) got MNU's 2 hits.

Katie Williams single to take the lead.

Vanessa Arandules (2-4, 2B),
Katie Williams (2-3, R, HR, 3 RBI),
Hayley Gately (1-3, R, HR, RBI), and
Courtney Gall (3-4) led the offense.
MNU is 21-11 (12-4 HAAC). The next double header closes the season at Peru State (28-19, 7-7) on Saturday at 1:00. MNU likely needs a sweep to hold the 2-seed in the conference tournament.
