Rosemont, IL - The Dominican University Softball team battled in cold and windy conditions and still managed to take both games in a doubleheader match-up with Edgewood College. The Stars would take game one 8-4 before finishing off the Eagles in five innings 12-2. 

Game One Recap: 

The Stars would strike first in the bottom of the first, plating two runs off of two errors by the Eagles to take an early 2-0 lead.

After the Eagles were able to plate one run in the fourth off of a walk, the Stars answered in the bottom of the inning combining for three runs to extend their lead to 5-1. 

In the fifth inning, errors would prove to be devastating as the Eagles defense committed three of their six total errors, and the Stars would yet again capitalize and score three more runs to give themselves a 7-1 lead.
