COCOA BEACH, Fla. -- Lisa Getgen and

The wins came in SRU's inaugural games on the annual spring-break trip to the Sunshine State and gave the Green and White a 4-0 record heading into Tuesday's twinbill vs. the University of New England, another Division III opponent.
Getgen tossed a no-hitter and came within one hitter of pitching a perfect game in Monday's opener. She struck out six batters.
Walker allowed two hits, struck out one and walked two in Game 2.
The Rock scored three runs in the bottom of the first inning of Game 1 and never looked back. Key hits in the uprising were a leadoff single by
Shardea Croes, an RBI double by
Nikki Collins, a run-scoring single by
Stacey Rhoades and a sacrifice fly by
Jessica Kortz.
SRU scored it final Game 1 run in the fourth inning, when
Meghan McHenry slapped a one-out single, moved to second on a walk to
Jessica Ellebruch and scored on an RBI double by Croes.
Croes was the only Rock player to have more than one hit in the game; The Rock had seven safeties as a team.
SRU scored one run in the top of the first inning of Game 2, added five tallies in the second, one in the sixth and five in the seventh.
Croes tripled and stole home to account for the first run of the game.
Jordan Zeunges smacked a two-run double and Rhoades clobbered a three-run home run to plate the second-inning runs and
Whitney Warmus ripped an RBI double to plate the sixth-inning tally.
Kim Weindel smacked a three-run home run and
