HONOLULU -- Freshman lefthander Kat Ung was outstanding in her first month of collegiate softball, but she was even better to kick off the month of March as she fired a no-hitter in the five-inning second game of Azusa Pacific's 11-10, 10-0 sweep over Chaminade.

Ung struck out two and allowed only two baserunners in the game, and she picked up her second shutout in four starts this season. The Cougar offense, which warmed up for 11 runs in the opener, exploded for 10 runs in the first three innings, and Ung's performance put the mercy rule into effect after five innings.

With the sweep, Azusa Pacific improves to 12-5 overall and 4-0 in Pacific West Conference play, while Chaminade fell to 2-10 overall, 0-4 PacWest. The Cougars continue their 10-game road trip to Hawai'i with doubleheaders at Hawai'i Pacific on Monday and Tuesday, March 6 and 7.

Kayla Jimenez, Cayla Broussard, and Illiana Jimenez each collected four hits on the day, while Nicki Sprague added three hits with five runs and six RBIs. As a team, Azusa Pacific batted .390 (23-for-59) while scoring 21 runs.

GAME 1: Azusa Pacific 11, Chaminade 10

Broussard delivered a game-winning infield single with two outs in the top of the seventh inning, finishing off a game which started with the teams combining for 15 runs in just the first two innings. Emily Moran drew a leadoff walk in the seventh inning before moving around to third on a pair of sacrifice bunts before Broussard's game-winner.

Thanks to two Chaminade errors in each of the first two innings, Azusa Pacific scored three in the first inning and four more in the second. The Silverswords answered both times, first taking advantage of two Cougar errors in a five-run first inning before reclaiming the lead at 8-7 with three more runs in the second. Kayla Jimenez hit a two-run single in the fourth inning to push Azusa Pacific in front, 9-8, but Chaminade tied the game with an unearned run in the bottom of the fourth.

Erinn Jaramillo broke the tie with a two-out RBI single in the sixth, giving the Cougars another one-run lead, 10-9, and Megan Mejia worked out of a bases-loaded, no-outs jam after Chaminade tied the game at 10-10 in the bottom of the sixth. After Broussard's RBI single in the top of the seventh gave Azusa Pacific an 11-10 edge, Mejia retired the Silverswords in order in the bottom of the seventh to complete the wild opening-game win.

In the victory, Azusa Pacific only picked up six hits, but another eight reached base after either drawing a walk or hit by pitch. Chaminade was also charged with six errors that contributed to the Cougars' timely offense.

GAME 2 (5 innings): Azusa Pacific 10, Chaminade 0

Ung retired 15 of the 17 batters she faced in her first collegiate no-hitter, which is Azusa Pacific's first no-no since Carly Xepoleas blanked Holy Names on April 23, 2016. Ung was supported in Saturday's nightcap by a 10-run outburst in the first three innings.

The Cougars jumped out to a 3-0 lead in the first and added five more in the second when Sprague's two-run single was followed by a three-run home run from Kayla Jimenez. In the third inning, Sprague hit her team-high fourth home run of the year, a two-run shot to left-center which extended the lead to 10-0.

Each of the first four hitters in the Azusa Pacific lineup collected three hits in the second game, and Sprague had five RBIs while Kayla Jimenez drove in four.

Only one Chaminade baserunner reached second base, and that came with two outs in the bottom of the fifth when Maureen Hutchinson was hit by pitch and went to second on a wild pitch. Ung, who opened the season with a 17-inning scoreless streak which was snapped in Tuesday's 4-2 complete-game win over California Baptist, finished off the win and stranded the Silversword baserunner at second with a game-ending groundout to shortstop.
