       In the nightcap, Southern Indiana raced to a 4-0 lead, including a solo home run by Rachel Bowling.
       SIUE scored three in the bottom of the third as Koree Claxton tripled with the bases loaded. The Cougars scored twice in the bottom of the seventh with one out on a double by Erin Newman and a single from Claxton.
