Freshman outfielder Janessa Basset had two RBIs on two hits in the victory. Duncan, a business administration major from Gilbert, Arizona, attributes her great pitching to her teammates. As a team, we have been playing really good defense and pitching the ball really well, Duncan said. I have an awesome defense making plays behind me. Looking to keep the storm rolling, DSU used another strong day in the circle to get two more wins against the Yellowjackets in a double-headon Saturday at Karl Brooks field. Duncan pitched yet another complete game on her way to a 0 start on the season. Sophomore pitcher Brooklyn Beardshear added two hits and two RBIs, securing the 2 win for the Storm. The second game of the double-headwould not be as close. Guided by a huge day from Beardshear, both in the circle and at the plate, DSU ran away from MSUB early on. Sophomore shortstop Josey Hartman, an integrated studies major from Mapleton, said she was very happy with the teams final performance. The first games we played were a little scary, Hartman said. In the last game, our bats came alive and we worked as a team to win. Beardshear notched her first win on the season and knocked out a solo homer in the game. Junior catcher Autumn Wood-fa- ll also blasted a three score home run in the 0 win. The win was the third straight for the Storm, who will face Dominican University to karhkuhn 6-- womens golf making a striking 2015. The womens golf team has nine women on the team.

The team has played in only two tournaments this semester, the first at Point Loma University at the San Diego Women's Championship where it placed third. Dunn led for most of the tournament, and the team had an overall team round of 323 on day two.
