Freshman Carly Kingery struck out 13 in a complete-game three-hit shutout in the opener, while senior Hannah Perryman struck out eight in the complete-game four-hit shutout against the Cardinals in the nightcap. The shutout for Perryman was the 46^th of her career, which ties the 25^th most in an NCAA Division II career.
 
The Tritons, which have blanked 11 opponents this year, improve to 13-1. They close out their trip to Florida tomorrow at 9 a.m. against Findlay and at 7 p.m. against Point Park.
 
Offensively against Notre Dame, UMSL recorded 11 hits, including a 3-for-3 performance at the plate with two doubles from junior Rachel Matthies.
 
Sophomore Jennah Perryman added two hits and scored two runs, delivering a solo home run in the fourth inning to make it 2-0. Junior Alex Stupek also recorded two hits, including an RBI single in the sixth inning, in which UMSL scored three runs. Kingery led off the scoring in that frame with an RBI double, while junior Ryan Logan followed with an RBI single.
 
The run against Wheeling Jesuit was unearned and came in second inning as the Tritons offense was limited to a season-low two hits. J.

Stupek recorded a double, while freshman Reagan Osborn added a single.
