Vikings drop pair to St. Norbert

DE PERE, Wis. – The Lawrence University softball team dropped a heartbreaker in the first game of a Midwest Conference doubleheader on Wednesday, and St. Norbert College rolled to a win in the second game to sweep the twinbill at Mel Nicks Field.

St. Norbert (22-6, 12-0 MWC) got a solo homer from Collette Ullmer in the bottom of the seventh to win the first game 1-0. The Green Knights took the nightcap 12-1.

Shannon Murray was the hard-luck losing pitcher in the opener despite allowing only three hits in the contest. Kayla Krueger got the win for St. Norbert after allowing three hits.

In the nightcap, the Green Knights exploded for 11 runs in the first inning. St. Norbert had 10 hits in the inning and took advantage of three Lawrence errors.

Ullmer went 3-for-4 in the nightcap and drove in three runs.
