ROLLA, Mo. – Freshman Kenzee Smith capped UIndy softball's road trip with her first collegiate no-hitter, part of a doubleheader sweep for the fifth-ranked Greyhounds Sunday at Missouri S&T. The Hounds (34-3, 23-1 GLVC) compiled more than 20 runs on the day in a pair of convincing wins over the host Miners.
 
GAME 1 | UIndy 13, S&T 5 (6 innings)
UIndy got the afternoon started with a cascade of runs in the early innings, racking up 11 tallies in the first two innings alone. The Hounds combined for six doubles in the two initial frames, with sophomore Emily O'Connor notching a pair of run-scoring two-baggers. Later, Taylor Danielson upped her team-high home run total to 13 on the season with a solo shot in the sixth.
 
In the circle, junior Audrey Sizemore got the first out of the game but was soon relieved by senior Hallie Waters, who went on to get the win. She struck out seven and walked only in in 5 2/3 innings, moving to 17-1 on the season.
 
GAME 2 | UIndy 9, S&T 1
After a shaky first inning, Smith settling in to retire 19 of the final 20 batters to complete her first career no-no. The hometown product walked each of the first three Miners she faced, but after getting a strikeout and a inducing a pair of groundouts, she escaped with just one run allowed and completely shut down S&T from there. She fanned six and pitched around five walks to move to 16-1 on the year.
 
Offensively, the Hounds tagged opposing pitchers for seven hits while benefiting from six S&T defensive errors to run-rule their hosts in six innings. Both O'Connor and Sydnee Perry earned two-run singles to lead the UIndy bats.
