LIBERTY, Mo. – The No. 10 UIndy softball team had its 11-game winning streak halted Saturday, splitting a doubleheader at William Jewell. After shutting out the host Cardinals 11-0 in game one, the Greyhounds (24-6, 5-1) fell, 6-3, in the capper to drop their first GLVC contest of the year.
 
UIndy 11, WJC 0 (5 inn.)
UIndy took control early with a four-run second inning. The first five Hounds reached base, starting with a leadoff walk by Natalie Lalich. Tayler Weck followed with a double before three straight singles added gasoline to the fire. Taylor Podschweit, Cathy Skaggs, Lauren Honkomp and Katie Kelly each had an RBI in the frame.
 
The final straw came in the fifth when Dani Turner delivered her first grand slam as a Greyhound, with her two-out salami upping the lead to 11.
 
Though she had two singles and two ribbies at the plate, Honkomp was most effective in the circle, tossing four scoreless innings to up her record to a stellar 16-1. She fanned seven while allowing just four hits and walking none.
 
Fellow-freshman Lindsey Bowers came on to get the final three outs, throwing a perfect fifth to complete the shutout.
 
WJC 6, UIndy 3
The Cardinals (11-13, 3-3) responded with a 6-3 win in game two. They broke through with a big second inning, scoring five runs on just three hits to chase UIndy starter Crystal Sicard (8-4) after 1 1/3 innings.
 
After scoring a single run in the fourth, the Hounds crept within two with a pair of runs in the fifth – both coming on a Lalich single. However, Jewell tacked on an insurance tally in the fifth and hung on to snap UIndy's winning streak.
 
The Greyhounds will remain in the Kansas City area as they head across town to face the Hawks of Rockhurst University tomorrow. First pitch of the doubleheader is scheduled for 1 p.m. ET.
