Brianne Porter Andrea Spindler Lea Colon Union College 8, Alverno 0 (5 innings) This year's trip to Florida has taken on "feast or famine" qualities for the Alverno College women's softball team. After not committing any errors yesterday, the Inferno defense had 5 miscues against Union College. Union was able to break open a 1-0 game with seven runs in the bottom of the 4th inning thanks in part to three errors, three passed balls, and five hits in the frame.

Against Union, Alverno was able to scratch out only one hit, a fifth inning single by 2B Brianne Porter (Fr., Oak Creek, WI / Oak Creek). Box Score
