Game 1 | Game 2

Valparaiso, IN-IPFW took an 8-0 loss to Valparaiso University this afternoon in the first game of a double header. 

Valpo pitchers Stephanie Kelly and Carrie Franson combined for a no-hitter in game one; it's the first game this season that the 'Dons have not managed to connect for a single hit.

The 'Dons were run-ruled in the fifth inning after IPFW reliever Jenna Connelly gave up a homerun to lead-off batter Ashley Wolter.

Despite a lack of hits, the 'Dons still had a few key chances with seven runners left on base.

In game two, the 'Dons battled back with seven hits, but were unable to capitalize, taking a 6-1 loss.

Leading IPFW offensively was outfielder Beatrice Pedraza.  Pedraza hit 2 for 3 in the game with her first double of the year, as well as an RBI.  Fellow outfielder Katy Stephens was also 2 for 3 in game 2.

The 'Dons will be on the road on Wednesday as well to take on Michigan State.  The first pitch will be thrown out at 3:30 p.m.
