COLUMBIA, Mo. – The Drake University softball team closed out the Mizzou Tournament splitting a pair of games for the second-consecutive day. Drake (12-7) took a 2-1 victory over Creighton (8-6) before dropping a 10-3 game to Missouri (16-7).
Nicole Newman (Madison, Wis.) moved to 6-1 on the season with the win against Creighton. She allowed just one run on three hits with 10 strikeouts in seven innings pitched.
In a game that closely mirrored Drake's narrow 2-1 loss Saturday to Creighton, both teams remained scoreless through the first three innings.
