Kolmerten improved to a perfect 7-0 on the season with back-to-back complete game victories on Friday night and Saturday afternoon. On Friday, she carried a perfect game into the fifth inning against West Liberty University. She finished with 10 strikeouts, no walks and she scattered two hits in Urbana’s 2-1 victory.
Less than 24 hours later, Kolmerten tossed a three-hitter and struck out 12 in Urbana's G-MAC debut, a 6-1 win over Ursuline. She also helped herself out with the bat, finishing 2 for 3 at the plate with a double, a run and a pair of RBIs.
Kolmerten has gone the distance in each of her last six starts, striking out at least nine batters each time. She is league best 7-0 on the year with a conference-high 71 K's and just six walks through 42 innings of work. Her two wins this week give her 27 in her career, tying the all-time wins mark at Urbana. She also leads the league allowing a conference-low .153 batting average to opposing hitters (22-144).
