St. Ambrose 3, Thomas More 2 - box score
Sophia Delgado's single in the sixth inning scored Natalie Desmond with what proved to be the winning run in a 3-2 victory over Thomas More. Logan Frerichs started the sixth by drawing a walk and Desmond entered as a pinch runner. An error on Tara Lance's bunt put runners on the corners. One out later, Delgado came through with her RBI hit. That capped a Bee rally from an early 2-0 deficit on a 2-run Thomas More home run in the first inning. St. Ambrose drew even in the third. Olivia McClintock singled and stole second. Libby Munsterman reached on a bunt single and also stole second. Madelyn Thompson's groundout scored McClintock and Kayla Stenger followed with a triple to right to plate Munsterman to tie the game at 2-2. The score remained deadlocked until Delgado's big hit. Ella Specht went the distance. She allowed five hits and two runs in earning the win.
Michigan-Dearborn 8, St. Ambrose 1 - box score
Kayla Stenger doubled in Olivia McClintock, who led off the game with a base hit, for SAU's only run in an 8-1 loss to Michigan-Dearborn. The Bees managed just three more hits the rest of the way - a second-inning single from Tara Lance and back-to-back fifth-inning, two-out hits from Libby Munsterman and Stenger. UMD answered SAU's run with one of its own in the bottom of the first before taking the lead for good with a three-run second. Jane Thomas took the loss.

Florida National 9, St. Ambrose 1 (6 inn.) - box score
Kayla Stenger's solo home run was the Bees' lone highlight in a trip-starting 9-1 loss to Florida National in six innings. Her homer came in the bottom of the fifth. It was just one of four St. Ambrose hits. Florida National scored in each of the first three innings, opening up a 7-0 lead after a four-run third. Libby Munsterman finished 2-for-3 while Olivia McClintock had the other Bee hit. Erica Ralfs took the loss. Jane Thomas allowed just two runs over the final 3 2/3 innings.
Bellevue 11, St. Ambrose 1 (5 inn.) - box score
The Bees again fell behind early and collected just four total hits in a five-inning, 11-1 loss to Bellevue, a team receiving votes in the NAIA coaches top-25 poll. Kayla Stenger had one hit and the team's only RBI, that coming in the fourth inning. Olivia McClintock, Madelyn Thompson and Tara Lance had the other hits. Bellevue scored at least two runs in each of their four at bats. Ella Specht was charged with the loss.
