With a playoff win on the line, Marquette rose to the challenge on Wednesday. They put the hurt on the St. Edward Green Wave with a sharp 8-0 victory. Considering the Crusaders have won 19 matchups by more than five runs this season, Wednesday's blowout was nothing new.

Not much got past Taylor Cuchra, who gave up just three hits and racked up ten Ks to keep St. Edward off the board.

On the hitting side, the team relied heavily on Avery Durdan, who went 2-for-3 with one stolen base, one run, and one double. The team also got some help courtesy of Lily Brewer, who went 2-for-3 with one run and one RBI.

Marquette has been performing incredibly well recently as they've won eight of their last nine games. That's provided a nice bump to their 26-6 record this season. Those wins came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 3.4 runs on average over those games. As for St. Edward, their loss dropped their record down to 16-15.

As of now, neither Marquette nor the Green Wave have any future games scheduled.
