Softball Struggled Against Olivet Nazarene  (41/8/07)
The Trolls did not fare well with the top conference team of Olivet Nazarene University in double-header action. They were shut-out in the first game with a 0-8 five-inning final. The second game also ended on the mercy rule after five innings with a score of 1-11. The Trolls are now 8-21 for the season and 4-8 in the conference. 

In the first game the Trolls never got anything going offensively as they recorded only one hit for the game. They did not help themselves out defensively as they committed four errors that contributed to Olivet's eight runs. 

The Trolls fell in a gap early in the second game as they gave up eight runs in Olivet's opening at bat. Olivet scored one more run in the third and two in the fourth to make it 11-0. The only run for the Trolls came in the bottom of the fourth inning when Sarah Lerner hit a solo homer to prevent the shut-out. 

The team will play against on Friday, April 20, at Cardinal Stritch University at 3:00 pm.
