STONY BROOK, N.Y. – Graduate pitcher
Dawn Bodrug kept her hot streak rolling in the circle as she tossed her sixth career no-hitter en route to Stony Brook's 2-0 win over UMBC on Wednesday. The graduate went 7.0 innings and struck out 12 batters in her fourth no-hitter this month.
The Seawolves came away victorious in game three of the season series against the Retrievers and pulled into first-place in the America East standings. Stony Brook previously fell to UMBC, 5-1 and 3-0, earlier this month in a mid-week doubleheader on Wednesday, April 13, in Baltimore, Md.
UMBC senior pitcher Courtney Coppersmith went 6.0 innings and allowed two unearned runs to also register a no-hitter.

- Junior infielder Brooke Dye recorded the Seawolves' first run, scoring on a throwing error by the right fielder that stemmed from a bunt from junior outfielder Shauna Nuss.
- Nuss scored behind Dye, reaching home on an error by the second baseman off a bunt from sophomore outfielder Alicia Orosco to give Stony Brook a 2-0 lead.
- Bodrug earned her 17th win of the season as she tossed her 46th career complete game. The graduate struck out 12 and recorded her sixth career no-hitter and fourth this season.
QUOTES FROM THE SEAWOLVES
"This was a great effort by our team and a key win for us. We knew it was going to be a pitcher's battle, but it was crazy to have two no-hitters. Our small ball game was the difference maker and our defense was better. Dawn threw a terrific game and was in control," said head coach
Megan T. Bryant.
