SIOUX CENTER, IA - Waldorf softball couldn't handle Doane's offense in their conference opener on Friday evening. Waldorf had to move their previously scheduled home games to the Sioux Center dome due to weather. Doane took game one 9-1 in five innings and took game two 17-7 in six innings.

Doane scored another in the top of the second and 4 more in the top of the third. After the third, they were shut down in order. Freshman Ridout retired the side in the top of the 5th with 3 strikeouts. Waldorf attempted to keep the game going in the bottom of the fifth. Alyssa Maldonado would reach on a leadoff walk. Freshman Maili Jackson would pinch run for her and end up scoring on a wild pitch, base hit from Noemi Tudon, and a RBI ground out from Kierra Lynn Schulz. Unfortunately, the inning would end on back to back strikeouts.
