Game 1 Boxscore / Game 2 Boxscore

MINNEAPOLIS, Minn. — It wasn't a matter of how many runs the Saint Mary's University fastpitch softball team scored Saturday afternoon, but rather how many Augsburg didn't score.

Hanni Lohmann (Lake Elmo, Minn.) tossed an eight-inning, three-hit shutout and Jennifer Gonerka (St. Paul, Minn.) added a seven-hit, eight-strikeout complete-game performance in the nightcap as the Cardinals swept the Auggies 1-0 and 2-0.

Lohmann was near-flawless in the opener, allowing just three hits — all singles. Unfortunately, as quiet as the Augsburg offense was, the Cardinals' offense was equally silent.

Until the eighth inning.

Krista Conway (Mendota Heights, Minn.) opened the eighth with a walk, moved to second on a sacrifice by Jen Gutterman and scored on Amy Langer's (Savage, Minn.) single.

SMU's offense showed signs of life in Game 2, picking up seven hits — including a 3-for-4 performance from Langer.

And with the additional hits, came additional runs, as SMU plated single runs in the second and third innings to ice the win.

And with Gonerka on the mound, two runs was more than enough. The senior right-hander struck out a season-high eight batters in posting her team-leading fourth complete game of the season.

Jenny Schipp (North St. Paul, Minn.) drove in SMU's first run of Game 2 with an RBI singles in the second, while the Cardinals' second run camwe on a throwing error in the third.
