Vikings Split Doubleheader at Simon Fraser

The Western Washington University softball team split a doubleheader against Simon Fraser on a rainy Sunday afternoon at Beedie Field. WWU won the first game 7-3, but ran out of steam dropping the second game 7-1. WWU swept a doubleheader vs. the Clan Saturday in Bellingham to open Great Northwest Athletic Conference play for both teams.
The Vikings are 8-6 overall and opened GNAC play with a 3-1 record. The loss in the second game snapped a 12-game winning streak vs. Simon Fraser.
Western continues conference play next weekend hosting Northwest Nazarene in a pair of doubleheaders Friday (1 & 3 pm) and Saturday (12 & 2 pm) at Viking Field.
