TIFFIN, OHIO – The Northwood University softball team split a pair of games at Tiffin Monday afternoon (March 30). Northwood picked up a 1-0 win in game one before falling 3-1 in game two.

After three scoreless innings, NU got on the board on a Meghan Franz (Toledo, Ohio / Whitmer) sacrifice RBI. Jessica Tostrud's (Kenosha, Wisc. / Mary D. Bradford) run proved to be the lone score in the game.
Andria Gietl (Plymouth, Mich. / Ladywood) finished 2-3 for Northwood's only two hits of the game. Vanessa Ewing (Maybee, Mich. / Dundee) pitched the third shutout of her career. Ewing recorded nine strikeouts against 25 batters while allowing just three hits.
