ST. PAUL, Minn. (4/3/04) -- Sophomore Nikki Conway had two solo homers and went 5-for-7 on the day to lead the University of St. Thomas softball team to a 6-3, 4-0 doubleheader sweep of visiting Augsburg College in Minnesota Intercollegiate Athletic Conference play Saturday on the Tommies' field.

In game two, Conway homered twice and junior Kristi Huegel also had a solo homer to back freshman Carrie Embree's three-hit shutout. Embree walked two and struck out nine for the Tommies (18-4 overall, 4-0 MIAC).

In game one, Kristin Trapp's bases-loaded single keyed a four-run fifth inning that built a 6-1 lead. Freshman Emily Waage got the complete-game win as she allowed three runs, six hits and no walks with two strikeouts.

On the day, Auggie leadoff hitter Kristen Lideen (Sr., Champlin, Minn./Champlin Park HS) went 3-for-7. Pitcher Shelley Harris (So., Minneapolis, Minn./Southwest HS) went 2-for-3 and drove in two runs in the opener for the Auggies (6-12 overall, 2-2 MIAC).
