Game #1: #7 Iowa Central Community College 8, #12 Madison College 0 (6 innings)

In a matchup of nationally ranked programs, the WolfPack failed to score a run for the first time this season and matched their worst losses of the year with the eight-point setback. The Tritons (18-4) plated two runs in each of the first two innings on a combined four hits, one walk, and two Madison College errors. The score remained 4-0 until the sixth, the Iowa Central added four more thanks to three hits, a walk, and an error.

The WolfPack collected three total hits, one each in the first, fifth, and sixth innings. In both the first and fifth innings, they left runners in scoring position. Freshman Irene Tomasovic had two hits, while fellow first year Kaela Kramer had the other. Tomasovic, a native of Kimberly, Wisconsin, has a nine-game hitting streak, during which she is batting .567 with 17 hits in 30 at-bats. She has produced 14 runs scored and seven runs batted in.

Maddie Fink, a first year righthander from Stevens Point, Wisconsin, fell to 2-2 on the season with three earned runs on six hits and three walks in her 5.2 innings in the circle. She also collected three strikeouts. Cathryn Hiller closed out the game allowing an unearned run on one hit.

Three consecutive walks later and the 'Pack were up a five. They made it 7-1 in the fourth with run-scoring singles from freshmen Anna Manke and Kaela Kraemer.
