Box Score Dominique Schneider (Lockport, Ill.) carried a no-hitter into bottom of the sixth until Wisconsin Lutheran's Brittany Blazich led off with a single, sparking a four-run rally, capped by a Tara Degl'Innocenti two-run home run, that closed the Dominican University softball season with a 4-3 loss in the Northern Athletics Collegiate Conference Tournament.
 
Dominican got on the board first, capitalizing on a Wisconsin Lutheran error in the top of the fourth.  Allie Evans (Greenwood, Ind.) reached on an error with one out and came around to score on Sara Hausl's (St. Charles, Ill.) single.  After a single by Kimberley Giannini (River Grove, Ill.), Hausl and Giannini came across when Armani Procter (Chicago, Ill.) doubled down the left field line.
 
Schneider set the Warriors down in order in the bottom of the fourth and fifth innings before Dominican threatened again in the top of the sixth.  Evans doubled to right field to start the inning but was stranded when Hausl lined out to center, Giannini went down on strikes and Procter bounced out to short.
 
Blazich snapped a string of nine straight retired by Schneider when she singled to start the bottom of the sixth.  After a fielder's choice, Jinny Curtis singled to left putting runners at second and third for the Warriors after she advanced on the throw to third.  Emily Sievert followed with an RBI single and Curtis then scored when Alicia Barbian grounded out to second for the second out of the inning.  Degl'Innocenti then gave the Warriors their first lead of the game when she cleared the bases with a shot over the fence in left-centerfield.
 
Trailing by a run in the seventh, Dominican loaded the bases with one out but Ashley Rea (Lockport, Ill.) was forced out at the plate when Kaitlin Barajas (Dyer, Ind.) grounded to short and the threat was erased when Evans popped out in foul ground.
 
The Stars outhit the Warriors 8-4 led by Giannini and Schneider, each picking up two hits in three at-bats, but Dominican stranded eight runners compared to just three by Wisconsin Lutheran.
 
Schneider was charged with four runs on four hits and three walks, falling to 10-10 in the circle for Domincian.
 
The Stars finish the 2014 season, going 23-17 overall and 14-8 in the NACC.
