ROSEMOUNT, Minn. (UWECBlugolds.com) - Opening the 2011 season, the UW-Eau Claire softball team split a doubleheader with the University of St. Thomas (Minn.) at the Irish Sports Dome tonight.

In the early game, the Blugolds fell 2-0. But they followed with a win in the second game, defeating the Tommies 12-8.

In the second game, Emily Muller (Jr.-Lancaster, Wis.) hit a three-run homer in the first inning to drive in Aleisha Harper (Jr.-Mondovi, Wis./Eau Claire North) and Jenny Hess (So.-Wisconsin Rapids, Wis./Lincoln).

While St. Thomas closed the gap in the second inning by scoring two runs, the Blugolds answered in the bottom of the inning with seven runs. Eau Claire held a 10-2 lead after the second inning.

The Blugolds went on to score two more runs to hang on to the win as St. Thomas scored six more.
