Game 1 Box Score / Game 2 Box Score

MOORHEAD, Minn. — If there's one thing Saturday's split with Hamline did to the Saint Mary's University fastpitch softball team, it was make them mad.

And you don't want to make the Cardinals mad.

Just ask Concordia.

Still fuming from the three-run, seventh-inning home run that beat them 8-5 in the second game of Satruday's doubleheader against Hamline, the Cardinals took out their frustrations on the Cobbers.

Stacy O'Malley (Lake Elmo, Minn.) — the unfortunate victim of Saturday's seventh-inning home run — wasn't about to let the Cobbers do the same thing to her, as the freshman tossed the first no-hitter of her career in leading SMU to a 2-0 Game 1 victory.

The SMU offense then picked up where O'Malley left off, collecting a season-high 17 hits in completing the sweep with a 9-5 win in Game 2.

Just how dominating was O'Malley in Game 1? Were it not for an error in the second inning, the no-hitter would have also been a perfect game. O'Mally struck out a career-high 15 batters — one short of the school record of 16 set by Kelly King in 1997. At one point she struck out seven straight batters and she allowed just four balls to leave the infield.

With that type of pitching performance, the Cardinals' offense had it rather easy, scoring single runs in the second — on an RBI double by Amy Edge (Mineral Point, Wis.) — and once in the third — on an RBI single by Jennifer Miller (Winona, Minn.).

The Cardinals decided to give their pitching staff a bit of a breather in Game 2, as SMU erupted for three runs in both the first and second innings, then added one in the third and two more in the fifth. Ann Munzenmaier (Urbandale, Iowa) led the way, going 4-for-5 with three runs scored and a pair of RBIs. Lindsay Mamer (Mankato, Minn.) was 3-for-5 with 3 RBIs, while Jackie Huegel (Alta Vista, Iowa), Regan Cahanes (Woodbury, Minn.) and Amy Langer (Savage, Minn.) all chipped in two hits.
