ST. JOSEPH, Mo. -- Cheris Kuster took a perfect game into the seventh inning Wednesday before settling for a 6-0 two-hit victory over Missouri Western in the first game of a non-conference doubleheader. The Griffons used a five-run second inning to post a 7-5 win in the second game for a split.
UNO is now 23-13 before traveling to North Dakota for a North Central Conference doubleheader Friday.
The Mavericks struck quickly in the opening game on Kellyn Kramolisch's solo homer in the first. They added two more in the third and the fourth and a single run in the sixth as Jenifer McDowell collected four singles and three runs batted in.
Kuster, 11-5, took a perfect game into the seventh before the first two Missouri Western batters singled.
In the nightcap, the Griffons pushed across five runs in the bottom of the second. The Mavericks responded with four runs in the third, highlighted by Leslie Svoboda's three-run homer. Missouri Western got a pair of runs in the second for a 7-4 lead and Svoboda knocked in a run with a double in the seventh.
