Jane Anderson Throws a Perfect Game in the sweep of Cleary

HOWELL, Mich. - The Madonna University softball team (27-6, 10-0) traveled to Howell, Michigan to take on the Cougars of Cleary University (12-18, 8-6). The Crusaders were able to sweep the Cougars bringing their winning streak to 10 straight with a 12-3 win in game one and a historic performance from Jane Anderson in game two where she would throw a perfect game to lead the Crusaders to a 10-0 victory.

The Cougars had an answer in the bottom of the first after an RBI double cut the lead to just one at 2-1.
