Calumet College St. Joseph junior pitcher Ashley Dau (Chicago Heights, Ill.) pitched a no-hitter against Mount Mary College (Wis.) as the Crimson Wave beat the Blue Angels, 20-1.
In the five-inning victory, Dau allowed only three runners to reach base (2 walks, 1 hit batter) despite less than ideal conditions in the cold and recurring rain. The Blue Angels scored when the lead-off batter walked in the fourth inning, advanced on a wild pitch and scored following two groundouts. Dau struck out seven and induced seven groundouts with only one fly ball out.
The Wave's only senior, Laura Simunic, celebrated the senior-day festivities with a single, double, triple, four RBI and four runs scored. Simunic is the first softball player in CCSJ history to play in over 100 games. She now has 138 games played and will graduate with school career records for assists and doubles. The double was her eleventh of the season and established a new single-season record for the Wave.
