Courtney Van den Bussche was a big part of the Jimmie offense.
The UJ leadoff hitter started the game with a bunt single as the Jimmie offense plated two runs in the first.
Emily Newman and Hanna Dunnigan had back to back triples for UJ in that initial frame.
Van den Bussche would also score in the 7th as she was hit by pitch, stole second, and eventually scored on an RBI groundout by Hattie Fullmer.

Mandy Thiessen handcuffed the Trojans - until the 7th, when Dakota State had three of their five hits and mounted a rally.
However, the rally only plated one run as runners were left on first and second, and Thiessen improved to 5-0 on the season.
She struck out 9 Dakota State batters.
