Falcons win first-ever NCAA game
BLOOMINGTON, Ill. -- The Falcons of Concordia University Wisconsin made history with their first NCAA Championship Tournament win today, defeating St. Norbert College, 6-3, with game-long offensive pressure. CUW had lost a day earlier 4-1 to Alma College in the double elimination tournament.

Erin Meier and Rachel Homp each had a pair of hits and an RBI, but Jenna DiMaggio’s two-run homer was the key blow for CUW, giving the Falcons a two run lead that they never relinquished.

Danielle Burke was outstanding in relief, allowing a single tally in 4 innings of work, as Concordia improved to 25-22 on the season. Concordia will play later today against the loser of Alma vs. Illinois Wesleyan.
