Mankato, MN - The Madison Night Mares (6-2) took an early lead and cruised to a 9-1 win over the Mankato Habaneros (6-3) on Saturday night.

Madison grabbed the lead in the second when Hilary Blomberg (University of Wisconsin) lifted a sacrifice fly, and moments later, Emma Kavanagh (University of Arizona) blew the game open with a three-run shot, stretching the advantage to 5-1.

The Night Mares padded their lead with a fourth-inning run and put the game out of reach in the fifth. Jilliyn Garner (Bowling Green State University) made it 7-1 with an RBI single, and Emma Kavanagh capped the scoring with a two-run double as Madison cruised to a 9-1 victory.

Karlie Mckenzie (Eastern Illinois University) earned the win in the circle for the Night Mares, her second of the season. Tegan Livesay (Southeast Missouri State University) was charged with the loss for Mankato.
