SCHENECTADY, NY -- Junior Alyssa Wolejko pitched a no-hitter, allowed one unearned run and struck out six to lead Union College to a 4-1 Liberty League softball victory over visiting Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in the second game of a Sunday doubleheader. In the opener, RPI had 17 hits en route to a 10-2 triumph. Union (7-16 overall) and RPI (17-7 for the season) are now both 4-2 in Liberty League play.

Wolejko walked two, and won for the third time this season. It was the second no-hitter by a Union pitcher this season, joining the April 6 win over Skidmore by Alysson Staats. The lone RPI run came on a throwing error in the fifth. Union had six hits, including two by Molly O'Brien. O'Brien scored the first run in the first inning on a throwing error, and after a Wolejko single and two outs, Chevalier hit her fifth home run of the season, a two-run homer to left, that made it 3-0 Dutchwomen. O'Brien added the fourth run with a two out RBI single in the second inning.

RPI's Victoria Hepworth lost for the just the fourth time in 10 decisions, and Osmanski came in to relieve in the first inning, allowing just three hits and a run while striking out one in 5 1/3 innings of work.

In the opener Caitlin McGivern, Gillian McCarthy and Taylor Ten Eck had three hits each in the 17 hit attack. RPI led 5-2 after two innings and 8- 2 after six stanzas. Taylor Ten Eyck had three RBIs and Tori Hunt and Dani Grage joined Jena Servidone with two hits each, and Grage drove in two runs for the Engineers. Kristina Weltzin improved to 10-3 with a complete game five hitter. She struck out eight and walked two.
