BELLINGHAM, Wash. - Western Washington University defeated Northwest Nazarene 9-1 in a single non-conference game on Saturday morning in Bellingham.

The game was halted for five minutes in the fourth inning because of snow and due to weather issues the non-conference twinbill was shortened to just one game.

It was the third straight win for the Vikings, who improved to 21-15 overall and 8-3 at home.  They have scored 20 runs in their last two games after plating just 16 in their previous 10 contests.

NNU lost for the sixth consecutive time and fell to 9-38.

Western pitcher Sarah McEnroe (4-6) worked all six innings, striking out three and walking two.  She won her third straight start, giving up just one hit over the last five frames.

NNU's single run came in the first when Jael Henthorn led off with a double and scored on a two-out single by Katie Free, who was 2-for-3.
