Next up, DU will host Saginaw Valley State for a pair on Saturday with game one set to go at 1 p.m. at The Farm.

Alexis Koza doubled in both
Monica Meger and
Addison Binney (second).
Emma Miller (9-10) was saddled with the loss in both games as Muilenburg and
Taylor Simon also got time in the circle.
