In a battle of two state-ranked squads, the Lady Macks (20-2, 12-2 Western Cloverbelt Conference) faced a deep and talented lineup in the Vikings (20-4, 14-0 Dunn-St. Croix Conference).
McDonell pitcher Katie Ruf was simply spectacular, striking out a dozen batters before a ball was even put in play - a pop-up which she promptly caught. For the game, the senior allowed just one base runner (via a walk) and struck out 15 Colfax batters in a dominant no-hitter.
At the plate, a number of Lady Macks brought their "A" game, including freshman center fielder Rylie Christenson-Richardson, who went 4 for 4 with two RBIs, and junior left fielder Kendall Hepfler, who finished 3-4 with a pair of doubles as the Lady Macks emphatically earned a Division 4 Regional Championship.
