DUBUQUE, Iowa - The University of Dubuque softball team has found the Iowa Conference opponents to be a tough schedule as the Spartans have just one win in eight games over five days.

The Spartans were held to a combined seven hits in the loss and committed three errors. Courtney Markin went 2-3 in the first game and teammate Brandy Heraty would go 2-3 in the second game. Taylor Blair suffered the loss in the opener after facing 29 batters in 5.2 innings and allowing four earned runs after striking out three.
