March 28, 2001

         EVANSVILLE, Ind. - Mandy Uhrhan singled home the game winner in the top of the seventh of the first game as Southern Illinois University Edwardsville and the University of Southern Indiana split Wednesday in college softball action.
         SIUE, 16-8 overall and 5-1 in the Great Lakes Valley Conference, won the first game 4-3 but lost the nightcap 6-5. USI's record goes to 14-9 and 4-2 in the GLVC.
         In the first game, Uhrhan singled home Erin Newman with two out in seventh to give the Cougars a 4-3 lead. Dawn Farmer then closed out the bottom of the seventh for a complete-game victory, improving her overall record to 6-3. Farmer allowed six hits and no earned runs.
         With a 3-1 lead in the sixth, Southern Indiana loser Danielle Garnett, 7-4, gave up a two-run homer to Cindy Kolda. It was Kolda's second homer of the season. That tied the score 3-3 and set up the Cougar seventh.
         In the second game, Kolda belted another homer, but it was a pair of solo homers which paced the Cougars. Newman's second of the game gave the Cougars a 5-4 lead going into the bottom of the seventh.
         Molly Blackford doubled home two runs in the bottom of the seventh for the game-winning hit off SIUE starter-loser Missy Koenig, 5-4.
         SIUE's next action is Saturday at IUPU-Ft. Wayne. A doubleheader begins at 1 p.m.
