She allowed just two earned runs and 10 hits off of her, while striking out eight in 12 innings of work. Mills picked up saves versus Columbia and (2.0 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 2 K) and Army (1.2 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 1 K) and earned the victory in a complete game outing against Lafayette (7.0 IP, 4 H, 2 ER, 5 K). The Wolverine hurler helped Utah Valley go 3-1 last week and finish 7-1-1 in nine contests at the Rebel Spring Games in Kissimmee, Fla.
For the season, Mills is 8-3 with a 2.24 ERA and has a PCSC-leading four saves.
