Kissimmee, Fla. -- The fifth-ranked Wayne State University softball squad (21-4 overall) won for the ninth time in the last 10 outings by recording a 3-1 victory over Minnesota State-Moorhead (2-12 overall) Friday evening at the Rebel Spring Games.

The Warriors scored in the bottom of the first as Alison Allen (Redford, Mich. / Farmington Hills Mercy) had a leadoff single and went to second on the first of three Jaci Banton (Richmond Hill, Ont. / Cardinal Carter) sacrifice bunts.  Catcher Brittany Omelanchuk (Brooklin, Ont. / Wilson S.S.) delivered a two-out RBI single to right center plating Allen with the first run of the contest.

WSU added a single run in the bottom of the third using the same formula from the first inning -- Allen with a leadoff single and Banton with a sacrifice bunt, but this time Rebecca Stanley (Waterloo, Ont. / Waterloo C.I.) recorded the RBI single.

Meanwhile, WSU starter Casey Hanes (Richmond, Va. / Douglas Freeman) retired the first nine Dragon batters until Ariel Adelsen led off the fourth with a home run.  Hanes responded by retiring seven of the next MSUM batters.

Wayne State added an insurance run in the sixth as Stephanie LeClair (Kitchener, Ont. / Forest Heights C.I.) smacked her third home run of the campaign.

The Dragons had runners at second and third and only one out in the top of the seventh on a single, hit by pitch and sacrifice bunt, but Hanes ended the contest on a ground out and strikeout.

Allen went 4-for-4 with two runs scored, while Stanley, Omelanchuk and LeClair each had two hits.

Hanes is 16-2 overall after one earned run on two hits with six strikeouts and no walks.  MSUM hurler Alexa D'Onfrio (1-7) was tagged with the loss after allowing 13 hits and three earned runs with no walks and no strikeouts.

Wayne State will conclude its spring break trip with a Saturday twinbill against No. 22-Augustana College.  The first contest is slated to satrt at 10 a.m.
