Solo home runs by Lauren Mabe and Carlie Rose gave the 20th-ranked Jennies all the offense they would need in a 2-1 win over ninth-ranked Augustana on Saturday morning at Bowden Field. With the win, the Jennies sweep the best-of-three Super Regional series and advance to the Division II World Series for the first time since 1994.

The Jennies advance to their first World Series since 1994, when head coach Susan Anderson was a player for the Jennies. With the win, the Jens also tied the school record for wins in a season with their 49th.
