The Kansas club softball team lost twice to Nebraska this weekend in Lawrence.

Nebraska relied on strong pitching to win game one 4-2 and the bats carried it in game two, a 10-3 Cornhusker victory. The Jayhawks gave up seven runs in the top of the 7th inning of game two to succumb to the sweep.

Kendall Knott, Wichita freshman, pitched the first game for Kansas, and Lindsey Wiegele, Shawnee senior, took the circle in game two. Sadie Johnson, Osage City sophomore, led the team in hitting and played catcher in both games.

The team gave out its inaugural awards Friday night before Sunday’s doubleheader. Stephanie Blevins, Anthony junior, received the best defensive player award. Johnson was named best offensive player, and Shea Scanlon, Lenexa junior, was the Kansas’ most valuable player.
