Box Score 1 | Box Score 2

SPRINGFIELD, MO. – University of Missouri-St. Louis sophomore Hannah Perryman became the program's all-time strikeout leader and also tied an NCAA Division II seven-inning single game record with 20 strikeouts as the Tritons swept Great Lakes Valley Conference foe Drury on Saturday afternoon.
 
Perryman tossed a two-hit complete game shutout in the second contest of the twinbill, which the Tritons won, 2-0, while junior Brittni Chapman improved to 10-0 in the circle with a 7-1 win in game one.
