Zoeller Throws No-No, Strikes Out 14 in Clarkson's Sweep of SLU

Canton, NY – Junior Olivia Zoeller came out throwing zeroes for the Clarkson University Softball team, tossing a no-hitter with 14 strikeouts in just five innings as the Golden Knights swept a non-league doubleheader against St. Lawrence on Sunday afternoon, winning the opener 14-0 and taking the nightcap 8-3.

The Golden Knights moved to 2-0 on the year and will get little break, as the team hits the road on Monday to take on St. John Fisher.

Zoeller was unhittable against St. Lawrence, as she allowed just one ball in play in five innings, striking out 14 of the 16 hitters she faced, with one out coming on a grounder and the other batter reaching on a walk. It was the second no-hitter in Clarkson history, joining Jamie Bridge's six-inning perfect game in 2015.

Clarkson's offense was on as well in the first contest, as the Knights scored three in the first, two more in the second and then put the game away with nine runs in the fifth. Zoeller led off the game with a triple and came home on a groundout for the tilt's first run. Amanda Riley reached on an error with the bases loaded to force in a run for the second score, and Sam Short added a run-scoring single for a 3-0 lead before St. Lawrence came to bat.

In the second, Kayla Robert drove in a pair with a two-run double, but the fifth was where Clarkson blew the game open. Alyssa Schaechinger drove in one with a single, Amanda Riley doubled in another and Sam Short drove in two with a triple. Zoeller then plated another with a double while a wild pitch and a bases loaded walk forced in two more runs. Maddie Brink added a single and Schaechinger drove in another run with a fielder's choice for Clarkson's 14th run.

Robert finished the game 2-for-3 with three runs batted in, Short was 2-for-4 with three runs batted in, and Riley also had two hits in four at bats with two RBI. Maddie Brink also was 3-for-4 at the dish, driving in one.

Game two was a little tighter, but still ended in a Clarkson win. The Knights once again struck first as Sarah Vaccaro hit a two-out double, stole third, and then came around on a single by Kayla Robert. The Saints tied things in the bottom of the first, but Clarkson quickly regained the lead with three runs in the second thanks to a two-run single from Zoeller and a run-scoring single by Bridget Twaits. Two more in for the Knights in the third as Maddie Brink doubled home Kayla Robert, and Tatum Morris's groundout allowed Brink to score.

The Saints got back to within three in the bottom of the fifth, but the Knights put the game away in the next half inning as Vaccaro doubled home Twaits and Robert followed with a single to score Vaccaro.

Robert was 3-for-4 in game two, driving in two runs, while Vaccaro was 2-for-4 with two runs scored. The win went to Riley Page, who tossed seven strong innings, allowing seven hits and a walk while striking out seven.
