TUCSON, Ariz. -- Led by a 4-for-8, six-RBI day by Jacquline Nichols (SR, Royalton, Minn./Royalton HS), the Augsburg University softball team split a pair of contests against the University of Texas-Dallas and Centre College at the Tucson Invitational Games on Monday at Lincoln Park.

• Sam Anderson (SR, Coon Rapids, Minn./Coon Rapids HS) drove in a run on a sacrifice fly in the third inning for the Auggies, Mackenzie Evenson (JR, St. Louis Park, Minn./St. Louis Park HS) singled and scored following an error in the fourth, and a pair of errors brought home Anderson and Nichols in the fifth.
