Softball Splits with Illinois-Springfield, Falls to Quincy

SPRINGFIELD, Ill. - McKendree University softball went 1-3 for its road games this past weekend as the Bearcats split a doubleheader with Illinois-Springfield and fell to Quincy in both contests.

In game two, McKendree put up just two runs to the Hawks' 10 as senior utility player Olivia Stansbury sent a two-run shot in the fourth inning. Freshman infielder Lauren Harris registered two of the Bearcats' four hits.  

On Sunday, McKendree traveled to Springfield for a doubleheader against GLVC foe Illinois-Springfield. The Bearcats split the two games with the Prairie Stars, snagging a 4-2 victory before falling 3-0 in game two.
