How It Happened
CLERMONT, Fla. – Emma Kelliher had it all working in the circle in game one as she picked up her first collegiate win in grand fashion by tossing a no-hitter in LVC's 9-0 win over John Jay. The no-hitter was the first in LVC softball history since Sam Derr accomplished the feat against Keene State on March 9, 2014 in the NCAA Tournament. LVC scored seven runs in the second and never looked back along with Kelliher's dominant pitching, the Dutchmen cruised to victory in the day's opening contest.
 
Kelliher was strong early and never let off the gas. She opened up the game's first two innings with four strikeouts while allowing just one baserunner. As for the offense, LVC erupted for seven runs in the second inning to blow the game wide open. Anna Marie Hockman drove in the first two runs of the game when she singled to right to bring home Julia Forsythe and Rylee Shockley. Kristi Langhans would score on the next batter on a Robin Feaster fielder's choice to push the lead to 3-0. Jen Kaufman would pick up an RBI-groundout, scoring Hockman, followed by an Annie McClain single to bring home Feaster and LVC quickly jumped out to a 5-0 advantage.  The Dutchmen weren't finished as they scored two more runs on a Bloodhound error and led 7-0 after two frames.
 
Kelliher continued to control the game from the circle picking up two more punch outs in the third followed by a 1-2-3 top of the fourth as LVC hung on to a comfortable seven-run cushion. In the bottom half of the fourth, Sarah Musselman would lace a two-out double to right-center to plate Kate Whelski giving the Dutchmen an 8-0 lead. Musselman would later score on a John Jay error and LVC led 9-0, needing just three more outs for a win via mercy rule.
 
In the fifth, Kelliher would retire the first two batters quickly with a pair of groundouts, needing just one more out for a no-hitter. After a few walks, Kelliher would complete the no-no with a groundout to third as LVC picked up the 9-0 win.
