KANSAS CITY, Mo. – The UIndy softball team (39-4, 12-1 GLVC) tallied its third-straight shutout victory on Saturday afternoon as the squad took down the Rockhurst Hawks by a final of 5-0 at Loyola Park Softball Field. Notably, Greyhound ace Kenzee Smith dominated play in the circle while freshman infielder Shelby Cook accounted for all five runs in the road win.
 
HOW IT HAPPENED
Smith (23-3) allowed Rockhurst to collect just one hit from the dish, which came as a third-inning single to right center field. Outside of that, the two-time All-American tallied double-digit strikeouts for the second time this season after sitting down 10 batters.
 
Meanwhile for Cook, the Murphysboro, Ill., native kicked off the scoring for the Hounds in the second inning on a three-run dinger to right center field. Then in the fourth, she went yard once again on a two-run shot down the right field line that eventually capped off the scoring in the game.
 
Due to inclement weather, action was called off in the top half of the seventh with the Hounds sitting in the driver's seat. Megan Nichols, Emily O'Connor, and Sydnee Perry each had one hit in the game for UIndy.
 
UP NEXT
The Greyhounds will stay in KC and prepare for a doubleheader tomorrow against William Jewell. Action is set to begin at 1 p.m. ET.
