ST. CHARLES, MO. – University of Missouri-St. Louis senior Hannah Perryman tossed her ninth career perfect game on Wednesday, breaking an NCAA Division II record, while tying the NCAA all-divisions record as the No. 6 University of Missouri-St. Louis softball team posted an 11-0 win at Lindenwood in the second game of a doubleheader.

TRITON TIDBITS: Due to an NCAA record book error, Hannah Perryman re-broke the NCAA DII record and re-tied the all-NCAA divisions mark for perfect game (which we believed originally occurred last season)… former Texas standout and Olympic gold medalist Cat Osterman also had nine career perfect games at the NCAA DI level… Perryman now sits at 1,454 career strikeouts, 86 shy of breaking the NCAA DII career mark.
