JOLIET, Ill. – The Harper College women's softball team couldn't ignite its offense in cold temperatures on Thursday afternoon at Joliet Junior College. The Hawks lost to the Wolves in five innings, 9-1.

Harper forfeited the second game of the day, and it was scored as a 7-0 forfeit loss.

The Hawks (1-13, 0-9 N4C) did get extra base hits from Danielle Reptowski (Hanover Park, Ill./Schaumburg) and Sandra Portogallo (Elk Grove Village, Ill. /Conant) in game one. Pitcher Isabelle McGuinnis (Arlington Heights, Ill. /Hersey) delivered an RBI single in the fourth inning, and Jordan Dallmann (Roselle, Ill. /Lake Park) scored the team's lone run after reaching base on an error and also singled earlier in the game.

The Wolves (3-21, 3-8 N4C) had a good day at the plate with 12 hits but also capitalized on four critical Harper errors. McGuinnis (1-11) pitched 4 1/3 innings for the Hawks, and Stacey Stanton got the win in the circle for Joliet.
