Frahm (19-4) earned the win in the circle after tossing 16 strikeouts, which tied her career high. She allowed only one hit and no runs, along with no walks.
Nebraska finally broke through in the fifth, when Frahm reached on a fielder’s choice and scored on a Coor triple. Coor went home on a GCU error to give NU a 2-0 lead.
