The Eagles scored four runs in the eighth inning to secure the win. An error got it started and Nicole Chavez homered to left, and Jasmin Dresser followed with a bomb to center to plate the four.  Hannah Howell also homered in the game and Grayson Harvey pitched all eight innings. She allowed three runs, two earned, on six hits with seven strikeouts to improve to 2-0. Amy Eilefson was two-for-four and Lauren Rodriguez doubled.
Concordia 7, Concordia St. Paul 2
Ryann Ferguson and Eilefson homered and CUI scored four runs in the sixth to run away. Ferguson and Foster both had two hits. BethAnn McCann pitched the full seven, allowing five hits and two runs. With the game 2-2 heading into the sixth, three walks loaded the bases. After a groundout scored one, Ferguson homered to drive home three more.Â
Concordia 8, #21 Regis (CO) 1
The Eagles offense exploded with 14 hits and eight runs. Charlotte Foster went yard, and Alyssa Yglesias had two doubles. Howell and Eilefson also doubled. Yglesias was three-for-four and so was Eilefson. Susana Gurney shut down the Regis attack, going the distance allowing just a solo home run and four hits. Yglesias and Eilefson both doubled in the first for two runs and Foster homered to drive home three in the sixth.Â
"It was a great day all around, and we played well in all facets of the game," CUI head coach Crystal Rosenthal said. "I was really proud of our pitchers for getting big outs and we swung our bats well. I am proud of the overall effort today and look forward to tomorrow to continue improving."
The Eagles moved to 5-0 on the day and have two more scheduled tomorrow. They start with the University of Mary at 11:30 am. Â
