WAVERLY, Iowa-- The Wartburg softball team (14-14 overall, 4-8 IIAC) swept Dubuque (6-26, 2-3) Sunday. The Knights won 3-0 and 4-3, which also moved their winning streak in the series to six.

In the first game, the Orange and Black took the 1-0 lead in their first at-bat as junior Liz Roby-Miklus (Ankeny) scored on senior Mara Forsyth's (Charles City) double to left field.

Roby-Miklus was 3-4 in the game. Freshman Lauren Reicks (Cresco) earned the save in the circle.

The Spartans plated their final two runs in the sixth on a single to center.
