INDIANAPOLIS—The sixth-ranked UIndy softball team upped its winning streak to 17 with a Sunday sweep of visiting Quincy University. The Greyhounds are a perfect 8-0 in GLVC play after taking both ends of a doubleheader versus the Hawks, 9-2 and 4-1.
Â
Emily O'Connor capped a stellar week with four hits and five RBIs on the day.
Â
GAME 1 | UIndy 9, Quincy 2
The teams were locked in a scoreless tie heading into the bottom of the fourth. After the first nine Greyhounds were retired in order,
Jocelyn Calvin got the Hounds in the hit column with a leadoff infield single.
Â
Four more singles followed, as did two walks, as the Hounds put together a three-run rally and didn't look back.
Â
The top of the order led off the fifth as well, and once again they batted around. Four Hounds crossed the plate this time, two coming on
Lexy Rees' line shot to left.
Â
The final blow came off the bat of O'Connor, how cleared the centerfield netting for a two-run blast – her third homer of the weekend.
Â
Â
Kenzee Smith got the win, holding the Hawks scoreless in her five innings of work. She struck out eight and walked zero to move to 18-3 on the year.
Kaitlyn Brown and
Alexa Huth combined to get the final six outs.

GAME 2 | UIndy 4, Quincy 1
O'Connor delivered again in game 2, staking the Hounds to an early lead with an RBI double in the first. Three more runs crossed in the fourth, with
Tara Williams and Calvin notching RBI singles.
Â
Meanwhile,
Jayden Casebolt (8-0) had a solid game in the circle. She earned the complete-game win, scattering five hits, striking out three and  walking just one. Only once did the Hawks advance a runner past second, as they managed an unearned tally in the sixth as their only run of the game.
