On the final day of the Florida excursion, the University of Minnesota Duluth dropped its two-game set to Florida Southern College in Lakeland, Fla. The Moccasins took game one 6-5 and finish up the nightcap with a 4-1 decision.

The Bulldogs finished up their spring trip going 4-6 and pushed their record to 9-12 overall after wrapping up the non-conference slate tonight.

For the second consecutive game, UMD was on the wrong end of a walk off. Southern Florida notched two of its eight hits in the seventh inning including the key two-out game-winning base knock.

The Bulldogs did battled back from a 5-2 hole to tie the game in the fifth. Junior first baseman Jordyn Thomas and freshman outfielder Sidney Zavoral each had RBIs in the first. Zavoral, the native of Cottage Grove, Minn., ripped a two-run homer in the third inning to slice the lead to one. Two innings later, junior outfielder Jessica Bren crushed her fourth home run. Her solo shot tied the game.

Senior pitcher Breanna Swint was dealt the hard-luck loss after coming of the bench could in relief. Swint fired 5.2 innings in the circle and allowed a mere four hits while fanning two.

The Moccasins grabbed a 4-0 lead through five innings before the Bulldogs got on the board in the night time finale. Thomas singled and advanced to second on senior outfielder Jayme Langbehn's walk. Zavoral drove in the lone UMD run the following at bat, lacing a liner into left field. Thomas corralled three of the seven UMD hits in game two.

UMD returns to the diamond in nearly two weeks as it preps for its first Northern Sun Intercollegiate Conference double header showdown against intrastate foe St. Cloud State University. That conference-opening series is set to begin on Mar. 24 at 1:00 p.m., in St. Cloud, Minn.
