EVANSVILLE, Ind.—Junior pitcher Allie Goodin (Evansville, Indiana) and freshman pitcher Josie Newman (Indianapolis, Indiana) each took a no-hitter into the sixth inning of their respective starts Sunday as University of Southern Indiana Softball swept a Great Lakes Valley Conference doubleheader from visiting William Jewell College Sunday afternoon at the USI Softball Field. The Screaming Eagles won the opener, 7-1, before taking the nightcap, 5-0.

Goodin (6-0) dominated the Cardinals' hitters, allowing just two base runners through the first five innings of game one before a two-out walk and a run-scoring double broke up the no hitter and the shutout in the top f the sixth inning. Goodin, who allowed just one hit, finished the game with eight strikeouts.

At the plate, the Eagles got a two-run single from Goodin in the bottom of the first inning to take a quick 2-0 lead. The Eagles tacked on two more runs in the third inning on an RBI-single by senior designated player Katie Back (Indianapolis, Indiana) and a run-scoring double by junior shortstop Jordan Rager (Fishers, Indiana).

USI (26-8, 12-0 GLVC), which has won 14 straight games, scored three more times in the fourth to take a commanding seven-run lead. Sophomore outfielder Mackenzie Bedrick (Brownsburg, Indiana) had an RBI-triple and scored on a wild pitch to aid the Eagles in the fourth frame. Bedrick went a combined 3-of-6 at the plate with an RBI to lead the Eagles at the dish, while Goodin drove in a team-high three runs, including one in the bottom of the first inning of game two that capped off a two-run opening frame.

Sophomore first baseman Lexi Fair (Greenwood, Indiana) started the scoring in the second game with an RBI on a sacrifice bunt, while Goodin's single two batters later put USI in front, 2-0.

The Eagles tacked onto that lead in the second inning as Newman's first career collegiate hit left the playing area for a solo home run. USI tacked on two more tallies in the fifth when Goodin's two-out hit was mishandled by the William Jewell second baseman, allowing a pair of Eagles to cross the plate.

Like Goodin, Newman (8-3) took a no-hitter into the sixth inning, but a walk, followed by a lead-off single spoiled her bid. Newman finished the day by allowing just two hits in her second complete-game shutout of the season. She finished with nine strikeouts en route to her fifth consecutive win.

William Jewell fell to 10-22 overall and 4-12 in GLVC play with the losses.

USI returns to action Saturday at noon when it travels to Springfield, Missouri, for a GLVC doubleheader against Drury University. The Panthers (26-9, 12-2 GLVC) are coming off a doubleheader sweep over host Lindenwood University Sunday and are currently second in the GLVC standings behind USI.

• USI's 14-game winning streak is its longest since winning a program-record 18 straight games in 2005. The Eagles also won 16 straight games in 2000, 14 straight games in 2003, 13 straight games in 2015 and 12 straight in 2002.
• The Eagles 12-0 start to GLVC play is tied for its best start to league play in program history. USI started league play with 12 straight wins in 2000 and were 8-0 in 1995.
