MEQUON, Wis. -- Alverno College lost a pair of conference games to the Concordia University Wisconsin Falcons, the defending Northern Athletics Conference tournament champions, by scores of 5-3 and 9-1 this afternoon on the Concordia campus north of Milwaukee.

Trailing 3-1 in the top of the sixth inning in game one, the Inferno would string together a trio of hits including a two-out single to left field by freshman first baseman Jamie Villalobos (Antioch, Ill.) which send both Jessica Goetz (Milwaukee, Wis./Martin Luther) and Stef Wilmore (Elkhart, Ind./Central) across home plate to tie the score at 3-3. Goetz and Wilmore each recorded a hit earlier in the inning, as Goetz singled to left field and Wilmore got her ninth double of the season with a smash down the left-field line.

The host Falcons (16-12, 8-4 NAC) would answer back in the bottom half of the sixth, as a two-out single through the left side would score the go-ahead run, and a second run would score on a single on the next at bat.

The Inferno (8-18, 2-8 NAC) would go three-up and three-down in the seventh ending game one at 5-3.

In game two Alverno would tie the game at 1-1 in the top of the third on back-to-back hits by center fielder Bre Hart (Racine, Wis./Park) and second baseman Roxanne Kresmer (South Milwaukee, Wis.). Kresmer's double to the opposite field would send home the speedy Hart for the Inferno's lone run of the game.

Unfortunately the host Falcons would score a run in the bottom half of the inning after an infield error to put them up 2-1.

After a quiet offensive inning for the Inferno in the fourth, the Falcons would add three more unearned runs in the bottom of the inning. Four more runs in the fifth would put CUW up 9-1, ending the game after five innings for the sweep.

Hart would lead the Inferno bats with a 4-of-7 performance on the day including one run. Goetz, Kresmer and Villalobos would each record two hits in the twin bill, with Goetz scoring two runs and Kresmer adding her first two sacrifice hits of the season.

Goetz (8-15) also picked up both decisions for the Inferno, pitching nearly 11 innings on the day with 12 strikeouts and only six walks.

The Inferno look to snap their current four-game skid tomorrow at Alverno Field as they host crosstown rival Wisconsin Lutheran College in a NAC doubleheader at Noon.
