SAINT CHARLES, Mo. (Mar. 12, 2016)-- The University of Wisconsin-Parkside softball squad dropped both ends of a Great lakes Valley Conference doubleheader to Maryville University on Saturday at the Lou Brock Complex to close out the team's weekend tour of Saint Louis. The Rangers fell 5-4 in the opener before suffering a 7-5 decision in the nightcap.
 
The host Saints (11-3, 3-1 GLVC) chalked up three runs in the opening inning and one more in the second before the Ranger offense awoke in the third, tying the game with a four-run outburst.
 
Cassie Walek drew a walk to begin the inning, later scoring on a Carly Dundee single. Rachel Seefeldt brought in Dundee with an RBI double before Courtney Ellingson swapped spots with Seefeldt after hitting a double of her own. Ellingson would later score on a Caressa DeRossett base hit, tying the score at 4-4.
 
Maryville responded with a solo homer run in the bottom of the frame in what proved to be the final score of the contest.
 
Dundee led the Rangers (3-17, 0-4 GLVC) at the plate with a 2-for-4 effort while Amber Ramos took the loss inside the circle, logging three innings and striking out one.
 
In game two, the Saints scored four runs in the bottom of the second only to see UW-Parkside tie the game with a four run inning of its own in the top of the third. An error and a double put two on for the Green and White before Ellingson belted a home run, closing the gap to just one run. Later in the frame Sara Markelonis belted an RBI single, bringing in Kat Schaefer to tie the game.
 
Maryville generated single runs in the third, fourth, and fifth innings to come away with the win. Dundee led off the seventh with a double and scored on a Ellingson sacrifice fly and the Rangers had the tying run on deck before a flyout and a groundout ended any hope of a rally.
 
Dundee was dialed in at the plate, collecting three hits while DeRossett was two-for-two at the dish. Dundee took the loss inside the circle, fanning four batters in the complete game effort.
 
The Rangers return to the diamond on Saturday with the home opener against Quincy University at the Case Complex.
