U softball team sweeps North Dakota St.
Senior righthander Sarah Groenewegen had 12 strikeouts and won her 23rd game as the No. 4 Gophers beat North Dakota State 3-1 on Wednesday in the first game of a softball doubleheader at Cowles Stadium. Amber Fiser, a freshman, then threw a five-hitter as Minnesota beat NDSU 6-0 in the second game.
In the opener, Groenewegen had a shutout for 6 ⅔ innings until Zoe Stavrou's RBI single, but Maddie Houlihan threw Stavrou out trying for a double. Groenewegen's career strikeout total is 1,122, tying her with Minnesota pitching coach Piper Ritter for the second most in program history.
Houlihan had a two-run double for the Gophers in the first inning and Allie Arneson hit a home run in the sixth.
Freshman catcher Kendyl Lindaman hit her 16th homer — setting a program single-season record — in the second game. And Sydney Dwyer had two RBI, on a single and sacrifice fly, to raise her RBI total to 63 — the second most in a single season for a Gopher.
The Gophers are 45-3 overall, 13-0 at home and have won 16 games in a row.
