BOX SCORE: Game 1 | Game 2

SIOUX FALLS, S.D. –
No. 13 Augustana College's Janelle Trautmann and Karlee Koopman combined to toss a one-hitter to defeat Southwest Minnesota State University 7-0 in game one of the Northern Sun Intercollegiate Conference doubleheader played on Tuesday at Bowden Field.

Game 1 | Augie 7-0
Kaley Scearcy's single through the left side in the fourth inning broke up starting pitcher Trautmann's no-hit bid. Trautmann worked six complete innings and struck out nine Mustangs before giving way to Koopman, who pitched a perfect seventh.

Rachel Hoeppner (7-11) worked all six innings for the Mustangs and gave up seven runs, five of which were earned, on eight hits, walked one and struck out four.
Augustana received multi-hit performances from Carly Peterson and Sarah Kennedy while Jordan Schaffer picked up two RBIs in the contest.

Game 2 | Augie 6-0
Augustana, fueled by a pair of two-run home runs in the fifth and sixth, downed SMSU 6-0 to complete the two-game sweep on Tuesday. SMSU was blanked in each contest and combined to earn just five hits in the doubleheader.

Alex O'Connor (4-13) took the loss for the Mustangs in game two as she gave up six earned runs and six walks in six innings of work.
