Lukawesky pitches lights out for Clan

Coquitlam's Cara Lukawesky made a great pitch for top player Friday at Burnaby Mountain's Beedie Field. A bunch of them, actually.

Coquitlam's Cara Lukawesky made a great pitch for top player Friday at Burnaby Mountain's Beedie Field.

A bunch of them, actually.

The five-foot-10 sophomore surrendered only five hits and struck out a pair to lift the Simon Fraser Clan to a 4-1 victory in Game 1 of a university women's softball doubleheader against Idaho's Northwest Nazerne Crusaders.

The Clan dropped Game 2 by a 5-2 decision, then followed it up with another doubleheader split with the Crusaders on Saturday.

Lukawesky hurled another victory and moved to 5-3 after scattering six hits and fanning two as the Clan rallied for a 7-3 win before falling 5-2 in the second game of the twinbill. The results left the Clan with a 6-8 record in the Great Northwest Athletic Conference (NCAA Div. 2) this season.

Clan freshman outfielder Jodie Hartman, like Lukawesky, is a Port Moody secondary school grad.
