Ava Parent (University of Wisconsin) went 2-for-4 with two RBIs and a stolen base, while Katy Olive (Miami University &#8211; OH) doubled and drove in two runs. Marleigh Louvar (University of St. Thomas &#8211; MN) added a triple and scored a run.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Louvar also settled in the circle, allowing just one run over five innings of relief, while Kylinn Stangl (University of Minnesota) tossed a scoreless seventh with two strikeouts.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The Habaneros will look to bounce back in their next game as they face the Spitfires again in Grand Forks.
