         EDWARDSVILLE, ILL. -- Kaitlin Colosimo threw the 22nd no-hitter in Southern Illinois University Edwardsville softball history Sunday in an 8-0, five-inning win over Missouri-St. Louis.
         SIUE, ranked No. 7 nationally in the NFCA/NCAA Division II national poll, also won the opener of the doubleheader 4-2 to improve its season record to 21-4 and 5-1 in the Great Lakes Valley Conference. UMSL fell to 10-14 overall and 2-3 in the GLVC.
         Colosimo, who did not allow a hit in nine innings of work for the weekend, didn't get off to a great start Sunday but finished quite strong. Colosimo, now 10-1 this season, hit UMSL leadoff hitter Alex Pepin and then garnered the next 15 outs, including six strikeouts, as the offense took over for a game called on the eight-run slaughter rule.
         SIUE scored four runs in both the third and fourth innings, all off UMSL hurler Emily Wagoner. Ashley Price, Libby Lenart and Sabra McCune each collected two RBIs.
         In the first game, McCune fanned six in the seven-inning game to improve her season record to 9-3.
         SIUE rallied for three runs in the fourth inningon RBI singles by Emily Lenart, Lauren Zembruski and Kaeleigh Rousey. UMSL picked up a late solo home run from Alex Ogle.
         The Cougars next face Central Missouri Wednesday in a non-conference clash at Cougar Field. The first pitch is set for 3 p.m.
