A three-run home run by Claire Long in the third inning lifted fifth-seeded Rockhurst to a 4-2 win over the top-seeded Indianapolis on Thursday at the GLVC Tournament at the EastSide Centre in East Peoria, Illinois.

The win was the Hawks' 32nd of the season, setting a new mark for the most wins in a single season in program history. The Hawks' win over second-ranked Indianapolis also was the first win over a top 10 nationally ranked opponent since the 2021 GLVC Tournament when the Hawks defeated No. 7 Indianapolis, 3-2.

• Avery Huffman (19-9) notched her 208th strikeout of the season, breaking the school record for most strikeouts by a pitcher in a single season in program history (207). She allowed two earned runs on three hits and finished with six strikeouts.
• Mya Bristow scored the Hawks' first run of the game with a solo home run to right center in the second.
• Emily Berry and Long both collected two hits.
• Kaylee Pugh collected two stolen bases.
