Drake (21-9, 5-0 MVC) won the opening game over Indiana State (15-11, 3-2 MVC), 4-0, and then won the second game by a score of 8-0. The road series was moved up one day due to expected inclement weather in Terre Haute this weekend.
Pitcher Nicole Newman (Madison, Wis.) dominated the first contest. Newman (9-2) pitched a shutout with a season-high 15 strikeouts and allowed just one hit and one walk.
