"You can never say that one person won a ball game for you, especially in a team sport, but a couple of names pop to mind today," said Head Coach Mona Stevens. "Michele Larsen and Kristin Arbogast are both roommates and are both from Eugene, Ore., and they had a great showing today. Michele had three home runs today and that is a career-high for her and Kristin had a great day on the mound. When her change-up is on, she is very tough to hit. I am proud of the way our team came to play today."
