-On March 29, 2024, the St. Cloud State softball team defeated the Wayne State Wildcats 4-1 in the first of 2 games.

Game 1.

The first two innings were scoreless thanks to some efficient fielding and Emma Eickhoff’s 3 strikeouts. It wasn’t until the third inning when Reece Holzhueter would score a run to give St. Cloud State a 1-0 lead.  The Huskies got home runs from Maggie Fitzgerald and Grace Frechette to extend their lead.  Emma Eickhoff added 3 more strikeouts in the game and the Huskies took a 4-1 win over the Wildcats.

Game 2.

The Huskies came out swinging in game two and the fielding was once again strong.  Reece Holzhueter and Maggie Fitzgerald each hit ground rule doubles in the 3rd inning to give St. Cloud State a 2-0 lead.  The Huskies didn’t look back and added on to the score. Reese Holzhueter would go on to hit a double and a triple to fuel St. Cloud State to a 6-0 victory over Wayne State.
