EAST PEORIA, Ill.—The UIndy softball team's conference title quest ended on Sunday afternoon, as the top-seeded Greyhounds fell to a hot Lewis Flyers club, 5-2, in the championship game of the GLVC Tournament.
 
The Greyhounds now await the release of the 2023 NCAA DII Championship field. The selection show will air on NCAA.com at 10 a.m. ET Monday morning. UIndy was ranked No. 1 in the Midwest in the previous set of regional rankings.
 
HOW IT HAPPENED
UIndy got on the board first on an RBI single from Emily O'Connor in the top of the third. Shelby Cook and Jocelyn Calvin set the table with a single apiece and both came in on O'Connor's base hit to left.
 
The Flyers got one back in the bottom half of the frame before hanging four runs on the board in a productive fifth inning. Lewis faced three UIndy pitchers in the latter inning, amassing two doubles and two singles.
 
Starter Jayden Casebolt (10-3) was tagged with the loss, pitching 4 1/3 innings and allowing five runs. Alexa Huth was charged with the final two runs, before Kaitlyn Brown came in to handle the last five outs.
 
Cook finished 2-for-3 at the plate, while each of the first four Greyhound batters had one hit each, including a double by Sydnee Perry.
