Indianapolis, Ind. - The Lewis University softball team ran into a buzzsaw in No. 2 ranked University of Indianapolis, as the host Greyhounds (27-0, 10-0 GLVC) remained undefeated with the 5-0, 10-2 (5 inn.) Great Lakes Valley Conference doubleheader sweep over the Flyers at Baumgartner Field on Friday (March 25) afternoon.
   "You can't make mistakes against a team like Indy because they'll take advantage of them every single time," Lewis head softball coach Becky Pearl said. "If we can learn to minimize our mistakes and execute the way I know we can, there's a lot of positive softball ahead of us."
   Lewis (13-16, 2-8 GLVC) returns to action on Saturday (March 26), as the Flyers head to Rensselaer, Ind., for a 12 PM twinbill with Saint Joseph's.
