ST. PAUL, MINN. – The St. Catherine University softball team found the perfect way to bounce back from a three-game losing skid. The Wildcats swept Wartburg College Tuesday afternoon, earning their first doubleheader sweep of the season.

St. Kate's is looking for two more sweeps this weekend when the team hosts Saint Mary's University and St. Olaf College on Saturday and Sunday. Saturday's game against Saint Mary's will serve not only as the Wildcats home opener, but as their Minnesota Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (MIAC) opener as well.

Last season, St. Kate's qualified as the No. 3 seed in the conference tournament thanks to a 15-7 record in MIAC play. However, two of their seven losses did come at the hands of the Cardinals and Oles. The Wildcats opened MIAC play with back-to-back splits against Saint Mary's and St. Olaf. In fact, St. Kate's split three of its first four series against conference opponents before going on a 10-0 winning streak against MIAC opponents.

Live stats for Saturday and Sunday's doubleheaders will both be available on St. Kate's website. Score updates will also be made on the Wildcats official Twitter page (@stkateswildcats) for those unable to attend the games in person.

Here are the five things to know before St. Kate's home doubleheaders against Saint Mary's and St. Olaf:

9 – Junior pitcher Krista Flugstad (Bloomington, Minn. / Jefferson) earned her MIAC-leading ninth win of the season thanks to the Wildcats 2-0 win over Wartburg College on Tuesday. Flugstad surrendered just three hits to the Knights and struck out six in seven innings of work. She also earned her third shutout win of the season, bringing her career total to 307.

2 – The Wildcats hit at least one home run in each game of Tuesday's double header against Wartburg. Kylie Macziewski (Bloomington, Minn. / Jefferson) hit a 191 foot solo home run in game one while first year outfielder Amber Montero (Circle Pines, Minn. / Centennial) hit a two run shot over the center field fence in St. Kate's 6-4 win in game two.

7 – Junior infielder Claire Woebke (Bloomington, Minn. / Jefferson) leads the conference in sacrifice hits. The junior has tallied seven sacrifice hits this season, all of which have been bunts.

1 – The Cardinals handed the Wildcats their first loss of the season in 2016 with a come-from-behind 6-5 victory in Winona, Minnesota. St. Kate's started the year with a perfect 14-0 record before Saint Mary's won the opening game of the doubleheader. The Wildcats bounced back, though, with a 3-0 win in game two.

22 – St. Olaf sophomore Emily Carr currently leads the MIAC with 22 RBIs in 16 games. Carr is currently batting .481, the fifth highest batting average in the MIAC and also leads the conference in doubles (11), triples (5), home runs (3), total bases (55) and slugging percentage (1.058).
