Kentucky Softball traveled to Missouri this weekend to open SEC play, sweeping a double header on Sunday to finish the weekend 3-0.

Kentucky completed the sweep without allowing a single run all series for the second time in program history against an SEC school, with the Wildcats last accomplishing the feat in 2016 against LSU.

The pitching performances were highlighted by star Stephanie Schoonover and sophomore Alexia Lacatena, who combined to throw 30 strikeouts and only allowed 14 hits all series.

The Kentucky defense also did not commit an error throughout the entire series.
