Box Score JANESVILLE, Wis. – The Grinnell College softball team not only won its first contest of the season Saturday afternoon, but the Pioneers did so in dominating fashion.
 
Sage Juveland '17 pounded out three hits and five RBIs with the aid of a homer and triple, and Kayla Morrissey '18 also homered as the Pioneers cruised past Ripon College 10-0 in five innings at the Midwest Conference Crossover.
 
Melissa Anderson '18 was the picture of pitching efficiency, tossing a two-hit shutout while striking out three and not issuing a walk.
 
Kristina Weber '16 had three hits for Grinnell, including a triple, while Morrissey and Lydia Stariha '17 added two each in the Pioneers' 13-hit attack. Stariha had a double among her totals.
