Zoe Haszelhoff (Kalamazoo, MI / Kalamazoo Christian) quickly got two strikeouts in the final inning and the Knights caught a pop fly to secure the comeback win. 

COACHES COMMENTS: "Really happy with how we competed today in both games," said head coach Becky Hilgert. "In the morning we talked about a few intangible areas we wanted to continue to build upon in our competitive culture. I felt as a team we really worked on implementing those in both games. MSOE is a top team in the region and outside of one inning we were toe to toe with them. Against Dubuque we kept fighting and got key contributions up and down the line. That was a true team win." 

UP NEXT: The Knights will be in action tomorrow against Neumann at 12:15 p.m. and taking on Elizabethtown at 2:30 p.m.
