ON A ROLL
Seattle U enjoyed a successful trip to Fresno, California, last weekend, winning four of five and defeating a power five opponent (Iowa State) for the first time since they beat Oregon State in 2021. The Redhawks opened the weekend with a 10-2 victory over UIC, with Amanda Morris's first career home run ending the game in the sixth inning. Their first of two victories over Fresno State came via a comeback, putting up a four spot in the sixth inning to claim a 5-2 win.
Seattle U walked it off against Iowa State, recording three runs in the bottom of the seventh with Sydney Frankenberger walking it off on a two RBI double. The second matchup with Fresno State featured two strong hitting innings from the Redhawks, posting three runs in the third and five in the six to take a 8-1 win.
