Girvan, a sophomore, picked up three wins in the circle, including one in relief, as the No. 3 Norse opened the season with doubleheader sweeps of Hamline and Augsburg. She started the first half of each doubleheader, twirling a 6-inning complete game with eight strikeouts in a 10-2 win over the Pipers March 2 and a 7-inning complete-game shutout with 13 K's in a 7-0 win over Augsburg. In the second game against the Auggies, the Norse turned to Girvan out of the bullpen down 6-0 in the second inning. She pitched the final 5 1/3 innings, allowing no runs with only three hits and one walk while striking out nine. (IIAC Female Athlete of the Week)
