BURNABY, B.C. - Cara Lukawesky tossed a one-hit shutout in the five-inning opener, then pitched a hitless seventh to earn a save as the Clan handed the Crusaders losses by the scores of 8-0 and 2-0.

Lukawesky walked one and fanned eight in the opener improving to 16-5 before picking up her fourth save of the season in the nightcap.

SFU improves to 27-11 overall and 20-10 in GNAC play while the Crusaders fall to 6-33 and 5-25 in league action.

Trisha Bouchard and Rosie Murphy each had two hits and Murphy drove in three runs to key SFU's Game 1 win. Both of Bouchard's hits were doubles. She also stole her 10th base of the year.

In the second game, Simon Fraser got single runs in the fourth on a single by Carly Lepoutre and in the fifth on a home run by Leah Riske to account for both runs off NNU pitcher Cara Duckworth.

Baylee Jolliffe had two of the Crusaders' four hits off Kelsie Hawkins (11-6), who walked two and fanned four as she combined with Lukawesky for the shutout.

The Crusaders will now travel to Bellingham for a Saturday twinbill against the Vikings.
