Brenna Walek slapped a pair of two-run homers and freshman Kierstin Anderson-Glass pitched her fifth shutout of the season in Saturday night's 8-0 Tommie win over St. Olaf in the Plymouth Dome. The MIAC season opener was moved indors due to the cold and windy conditions.

Walek now has three home runs on the season and 26 on her career in 93 games.
