The No.8 J-Hawks (11-4) beat Iowa City Regina, 8-3, then got blanked twice. Jefferson fell to Southeast Polk, 4-0, and to No.9 Johnston, 5-0.
Dani Stromert and Maddie Hansen drove in two runs apiece against Regina. Kaitlin Davidson and Hannah Towns had two hits apiece. Towns and Maddy Blietz each drove in a run.
Alyssa Olson doesn’t pitch the first game of doubleheaders for Cedar Rapids Jefferson, but that doesn’t mean the sophomore isn’t learning while watching from the dugout.
Olson went to school during the opener of Thursday night’s Mississippi Valley Conference twinbill against Cedar Rapids Xavier.
The Saints dominated Game 1, rapping out 14 hits against two other J-Hawk pitchers en route to an impressive 11-4 victory at Jefferson.
It was a different story in the nightcap.
Olson struck out the first nine Saints hitters she saw and retired the first 15 in a row, leading the J-Hawks to a 5-0 win and a split in the battle of state-ranked teams.
Jefferson held onto the No.8 spot in the Class 5A softball rankings released Wednesday by the Iowa Girls High School Athletic Union.
Xavier, meanwhile, slid four spots to No.8 in the Class 4A rankings.
Jefferson (9-1) hosts Xavier (3-3) Thursday night in a doubleheader at 5:30 p.m.

Brooke Stauffer and Alyssa Olson fired two-hitters to lead Jefferson to a pair of wins Saturday at the Jefferson Classic softball tournament.
Stauffer, who authored no-hitters in her previous two starts, struck out 10 in Jefferson's 1-0 win over New London.
Olson fanned 12 in the J-Hawks' 4-2 win over Davenport North.
Tony Lombardi is trying to keep it simple.
His Washington Warriors baseball team has starters ranging from an eighth-grader (his son Rocky) to a possible soon-to-be professional baseball player (A.J. Puk) and several others in-between.
“I am really proud of these kids, they have come a long way,” Lombardi said after his team’s sweep of Cedar Rapids Jefferson on Friday night at Jefferson. “Our goal is to come out here and be the kind of team you have to beat. That was not our moniker a year ago.”
Lombardi has liked what he has seen so far. Friday’s 7-1 and 6-3 wins over the J-Hawks have Washington off to a 5-1 start.
