Against UWRF, junior Sierra Dooley (Spring Lake Park, MN, Spring Lake Park) hit her first homerun of the season to give the Blazers a 1-0 lead heading into the bottom of the fifth inning.  However, UWRF answered quickly by scoring three runs in the fifth inning and held on to defeat the Blazers 3-1.
