CONWAY, Ark. -- The Bellevue University softball team remained perfect in Midlands Collegiate Athletic Conference action, after winning a pair of games Saturday at the MCAC South Crossover.

An RBI single by Kaitlyn Goney scored Alex Tooley in the top of the second, giving the Bruins a 1-0 lead. 

After Ashley Gigax drew a walk to lead off the sixth inning, a two-run homer by Schendt extended the BU advantage to 3-0. 

Mariah Shepherd spoiled Mohler's no-hitter with a single in the bottom of the seventh and the Eagles drew a walk to threaten with runners on first and second and one out. Mohler, however, retired the final two batters to secure the 3-0 shutout and her 10th win of the season.
