Lawrence trailed 2-1 heading into the sixth inning, but the Vikings tied it in that frame. Alex Chiodo led off the inning with a walk, and pinch-runner Mary Diduch swiped second. After a strikeout, Vance doubled to score Diduch and tie the game at 2-2.
The Vikings then mounted a two-out rally in the seventh to surge ahead. Murray started the rally with a single, and Anna Wawiorka followed with a run-scoring double to give Lawrence a 3-2 lead.
Vance gave up a lead-off single in the bottom of the seventh, and Murray came on to close out the Spartans (0-3). Murray retired the next three batters in order to earn the save. Vance allowed seven hits, struck out six and did not walk a batter.
Lawrence grabbed a 1-0 lead in the first when Kaye doubled and later scored on Murray’s double. D’Youville scored twice in the bottom of the second to take a 2-1 lead.

CLERMONT, Fla. — The Lawrence University softball team rode the shutout pitching of Kara Vance and Shannon Murray to a 2-0 nonconference victory over Framingham State University on Thursday at the National Training Center.
Vance and Murray combined to allow only six hits as Lawrence (6-4) posted its third shutout of the young season. Vance started and went five innings, allowing five hits. Murray picked up the save by pitching two innings, allowing one hit, striking out two and walking one.
Cathy Kaye paced Lawrence’s offense by going 2-for-3 and driving in a run.
Lawrence got all the offense it would need against Framingham State starter Yaya Faria in the third inning. Vance started the rally with a single and went to second on a sacrifice bunt. After a strikeout, Kaye delivered a run-scoring single and Lawrence led 1-0.
The Vikings made it 2-0 with a run in the fifth. Savanna Marsicek drew a one-out walk and stole second after a fly out. Tierney Duffy then came through with a double down the left field line to score Marsicek.
Faria went the distance for the Rams (0-8), allowing six hits, striking out seven and walking one.

FORT MYERS, Fla. — The Lawrence University baseball team jumped out to an early lead and rolled to a 7-3 nonconference victory over Knox College on Thursday.
The Vikings got another stellar pitching performance from sophomore Drew Doares. He went seven innings, allowed five hits, struck out eight and did not walk a batter en route to the victory. Marty Salazar pitched the first three innings for Knox (3-2) and took the loss.
Gabe Henriques went 2-for-3, scored two runs and drove in a pair of runs to pace the Vikings (6-3). Marc Linger went 2-for-4 for the Vikings, and Davis Ogilvie drove in a pair of runs.
The Vikings grabbed a 2-1 lead in the bottom of the first. Henriques walked, and Aaron Benz followed with a single. The runners executed a double steal, and Ogilvie then grounded to third. Henriques scored on the ground ball, and Benz also came around to score on an errant throw to first.
Lawrence stretched the lead to 6-1 with four runs in the bottom of the second. Richie Foreman led off with a single, stole second and scored on Linger’s single to give Lawrence a 3-1 edge. Joel Birch and Davide Harris followed with walks to load the bases.
Henriques grounded into a fielder’s choice at second that allowed Linger to score, but an error after the out also allowed Birch to score for a 5-1 lead. After another ground out, Ogilvie singled and Henriques scored for a 6-1 advantage.
Knox scored twice in the top of the fifth to cut the lead to 6-3, but the Vikings added another run on a bases-loaded walk in the bottom half of the inning. Lawrence closed out the win by allowing Knox only two more hits, both singles, in the final four innings.
