Kansas City, Mo. -- The UMKC softball team dropped the series finale to North Dakota State by the score of 14-0 in five innings on Saturday afternoon at Cleveland Park. The Bison held the Kangaroos hitless in the contest, as they completed the three-game series sweep.

NDSU jumped on UMKC starter Anna Sokolik in the first inning, as the squad scored seven runs on four hits. The Bison then tacked on two more runs in the second inning courtesy of a towering Melissa Chmielewski home run to stretch the lead to 9-0.

The Bison continued clicking offensively, as they scored three in the fourth and two in the fifth to claim the 14-0 victory.

NDSU hurler Andi Padilla picked up her 12^th victory of the season in the contest, as she pitched a five-inning perfect game.

UMKC (5-21, 0-6) will now hit the road for its next 13 contests. The road trip begins with a three-game series at Centenary on March 23.
