Once again playing indoors, this time for a split doubleheader inside the Sonnentag Fieldhouse in Eau Claire, the Lady Macks (1-1, 0-0 Western Cloverbelt Conference) battled the perpetually strong Spartans (2-2, 0-0 Middle Border Conference), a program looking to repeat as a conference champ.
After Somerset jumped out to three early runs, the Lady Macks battled back to a tie at the end of four. both teams equaled one another in the 5th and 6th, plating two and then three runs, but in the seventh the Spartans put three across and stifled McDonell's final charge.
Junior center fielder Rylie Christianson crushed the Lady Macks' first homer of the season and accounted for three of the team's 14 hits, sophomore shortstop Claire Ruf collected four hits of her own, freshman right fielder Taylan Hanson added three hits, junior catcher Lizzy Leibrandt drove in three runs, and junior pitcher Kelsey Bremness struck out a half dozen Spartans batters while also going 3-for-4 at the plate.
