Dyson Throws No-Hitter, Softball Sweeps Converse

PEMBROKE – Stellar performances from Madison Dyson and Summer Bullard inside the circle helped the UNC Pembroke softball team to a doubleheader sweep over Converse on Saturday at the UNCP Softball Field. 
 
Dyson threw a no-hitter in the opening contest retiring seven batters in five innings and walking just one batter as UNCP won the opening game 10-0 in five innings. Bullard fanned nine batters and allowed three hits as the hosts picked up an 11-3 victory in six innings of the back half of the doubleheader. UNCP combined for nine extra base hits and five home runs across the two games. 
 
The Black & Gold (14-21, 7-5 CC) have now swept their last two opponents, which marks the best winning streak of the season. The Valkyries (12-22, 3-7 CC) have now lost their last four contests and are 4-8 when playing on the road.
