Glancy totaled 2.2 innings for the Huskies and did not surrender a hit in his two appearances and struck out three of the eight batters he faced. The Oak Park, Ill. native maintained Taylor Nawrocki's two-hit, eight inning shutout Friday as the pair earned their second combined shutout of the season. He became only the third pitcher in NIU history to record double-digit saves twice in his career as well and is third all-time with 22 saves, four shy of tying the all-time mark of 26. Week's Achievements: Senior Kelsie Passolt finished her NIU career on a high note, turning in her lowest score of the season for a three-round event carding a 223 (78-80-75) to tie for eighth place, a career-best finish at the MAC Championships.

She improved her score and place from last year's MAC Championships where she finished tied for 33rd with a 248 and Passolt's final round 75 was the lowest score she turned in at the MAC Championship.
