The Nebraska softball team (1-1) was two outs away from a second straight win Friday, but Northern Iowa (1-0) scored twice in its final at bat to rally for a 2-1 win at the UNI Dome.
Sophomore Abbie Squier put the Big Red on top in the top of the seventh inning after sending one deep over the center field fence for her first career home run.
However, UNI responded with a rally of its own in the bottom of the seventh. Kamryn Shaffer started the inning reaching on an error. With runners on first and second and one out, Addison McElrath won a lengthy at bat with a ground-rule double to right center to even the score and advance Dodge to third.
