Huskers Drop First Game of Doubleheader

The Nebraska softball team dropped game one of Sunday's doubleheader at Iowa by a score of 6-1. The Huskers will look to salvage a doubleheader and series split in game two, the final game of the four-game weekend series.

Nebraska's offense was stymied by Iowa ace Allison Doocy, the reigning Big Ten Pitcher of the Week. Doocy (10-4) tossed a four-hitter with 11 strikeouts and allowed one run, snapping her streak of two consecutive shutouts. Her performance helped Iowa improve to 22-17 on the year.

Freshman Kaylin Kinney took the loss for Nebraska (21-18).
