The Gustavus softball team had three players selected by the Minnesota Intercollegiate Athletic Conference coaches to the 2005 All-Conference Team, including first baseman Audrey Lenoch (Pine Island, Minn.), pitcher Joyce DeWitz (Good Thunder, Minn.), and second baseman Julie Mahre (White Bear Lake, Minn.).

The Gustavus softball team had three players named to the all-tournament team after last weekend’s MIAC Post-season tournament. Those players were first-year infielder Julie Mahre (White Bear Lake, Minn.), sophomore pitcher Joyce DeWitz (Good Thunder, Minn.), and junior outfielder Kristin Kunz (Esko, Minn.).

Despite only one hit, St. Mary’s was able to defeat Gustavus and advance to the MIAC championship game. An RBI double by Cardinals catcher Amy Edge in the third inning was the difference, as Gustavus could only muster three hits.

A three run first inning would prove to be enough for the Gusties to defeat Hamline in the elimination game Friday afternoon. Joyce DeWitz struck out four and walked only two batters to lead Gustavus to victory.
