The Dominican University softball team got back on track on Sunday, sweeping a doubleheader from the MSOE Raiders less than 24 hours after dropping a Northern Athletics Collegiate Conference (NACC) series to the Concordia University Wisconsin Falcons.  The Stars took both games from the Raiders by one run, rallying for a 2-1 win in game one before picking up a 3-2 win in game two.
 
Dominican now stands at 13-11 on the season and 4-4 in NACC play.  The Stars will head to Sheboygan, Wisconsin, on Tuesday for a conference doubleheader at Lakeland University.  First pitch between the Stars and Muskies in scheduled for 3:00 p.m.
 
Game One: Dominican 2, MSOE 1
 
Cat Klostermann tossed a complete game to improve to 6-6 on the season while surrendering just one run on eight hits and two walks while striking out two.  The right-hander blanked the Raiders through the first five innings before giving up an RBI double to Kim White in the top of the sixth to give the Raiders a 1-0 lead.
 
Dominican responded in the bottom of the inning, pushing across a pair of runs after the Raiders' Emily Wiederholt walked the bases loaded.  Julia Orozco came across the tie the game at 1-1 when Klostermann grounded into a fielder's choice and the Stars then scored what proved to be the game-winning run when Alyssa Stuart lined a single through the left side of the infield to score Sydney Kuderna.
 
Klostermann then managed to work around a two-out single, getting the Raiders' Emily Snow to line out to Jessica Evans in right to end the game.
 
Dominican managed just four hits in the winning effort, two for Kuderna and one apiece for Gabby Curran and Stuart.
 
Game Two: Dominican 3, MSOE 2
 
Following the script of game one, the Stars and Raiders were scoreless through five innings until MSOE managed to plate a pair of runs in the top of the sixth off of the Stars' Allyson Dilday.  The Dominican bats, answered with three runs in the bottom of the inning to claim the lead.  A pair of MSOE errors aided the Stars' rally, including throwing errors on the first two hitters of the inning to put Megan Hufnagle and Curran at first and second.  After a sacrifice bunt, Kuderna doubled to right to even the score, 2-2.  One out later, Kuderna managed to come across when Klostermann singled on the first pitch she saw.
 
Dilday managed to work around a one-out double in the top of the seventh, thanks in large part to Stuart cutting down Wiederholt at third after the Raiders' pinch hitter tried to steal.
 
Dilday picked up the win in the circle, allowing just two runs on four hits and two walks while striking out three to improve to 5-3 on the season.
