Lincoln – Senior right-hander Olivia Ferrell fired a three-hitter, allowing only one run to lift the Nebraska softball team to a 2-1 victory over Maryland in game one of Friday's doubleheader at Bowlin Stadium.
Ferrell needed fewer than 90 pitches in her sixth complete game of the season. She allowed only three singles - including two infield singles - and struck out four while walking none. Behind her effort, Nebraska moved to 17-16 on the year. Trinity Schlotterbeck (6-6) pitched well in a losing effort for Maryland (14-19), allowing two runs on five hits.
