CRESTON - For the second consecutive day, the Iowa Central softball team scored a split with Southwestern.

Abby Wilson, Loghen Schnetzer, Paytton Crawford and Mady Lange each had a double with Lange driving in two runs. Wilson scored twice and Mikhaela Muir collected two hits. 

Rachel Newell and Lange stole a base each.

Wilson, Lange, Schnetzer and Kenzie Rosenboom had the only hits in the setback for the Tritons with Megan Poole stealing a base.

Iowa Central returns to action on Wednesday when they head to Ottumwa to play Indian Hills.
