ROHNERT PARK, Calif- Despite giving up an unearned run in the top of the fifth inning of game one, freshman Samantha Lipperd recorded her second no-hitter this season and Ashley Britton went 4-for-6 in the doubleheader with three RBI and three runs scored, helping 14th-ranked Sonoma State to a non-conference sweep of Chaminade on Tuesday afternoon. The two wins send the Seawolves to 29-8 overall, while the Silverswords fell to 14-26.

#14 Sonoma State 11, Chaminade 1 (5 innings)

Lipperd was set on cruise control, retiring the first eight batters she faced before plunking Kathleen Nakata in the third inning. After that, she retired the next six Chaminade batters. However, with two outs in the fifth and the Silverswords facing the eight-run mercy rule, Chaminade managed to put a run up on the board without managing a hit. Two throwing errors by Rochelle Vanyi on two consecutive batters allowed Elise Goodell to score. Lipperd then struck out Nakata to end the game.

Britton went 2-for-2 in the opener, with a double, two RBI and two runs scored. Ali Palermo, Simone Brandalise, Vanyi and Kayla Ledford all had two hits for the Seawolves, who had 13 for the game. Brandalise, Ledford and Brittany Martinez had two RBI as well -- Martinez had a two run home run in the third, giving SSU the 6-0 lead.

While improving to 15-3 this season, Lipperd recorded her second no-no this season -- the first came in her second ever collegiate appearance on Feb. 10 at Notre Dame de Namur.

#14 Sonoma State 7, Chaminade 1

Janelle Arnold got the Seawolves on the board first in the nightcap with a solo shot to left field. Sonoma State then scored four runs in the fifth and two runs in the sixth to post a 7-0 lead.

Ledford (1-0) got the start for the Seawolves in game two, giving up five hits and one run while walking three and striking out two in earning the victory. The lone Chaminade run came around to score in the top of the seventh inning after a double by Melissa Harris and a RBI single by Kori Berinobis, scoring Harris. It would be the only damage done by the Silverswords in the inning, and the game.

Arnold, Britton and Nikki Jaime had two hits apiece for Sonoma State in the 7-1 victory, as the Seawolves outhit the Silverswords 12-5 in the contest (and 25-5 on the day).

Sonoma State continues to pummel its opponents, as the Seawolves have outscored their opponents 84-17 in the last 10 games. They will look to continue the trend on Friday when SSU hosts Cal State Stanislaus in a doubleheader beginning at 1 p.m.
