SHERMAN, Texas -- Texas Lutheran junior right-hander Maitlin Raycroft (Spring/Klein) tossed her sixth no-hitter of the 2017 season and set the new NCAA Division III record for no-hitters in a single season.

Raycroft established the new NCAA record in the second game of a doubleheader Sunday against Austin College. Before her sixth no-hitter, Raycroft shared the NCAA mark with Allyson Fournier of Tufts (2015) and Rachel Johnson of Salisbury (2014).

Against the Kangaroos, the Bulldogs won 10-0 in five innings as Raycroft struck out 13 and faced just two batters over the five-inning minimum. She hit one batter, and another batter reached on a wild pitch following a strikeout. The game was called after five innings due to the eight-run rule.

Raycroft has thrown six no-hitters in her last nine starts. In three games this week, Raycroft tossed a perfect game (her fifth no-hitter) against Mary Hardin-Baylor, a one-hitter against Austin College, and a no-hitter against Austin College.

TLU won both games of the Sunday doubleheader with Austin College at Sherman's Old Settlers Park. The Bulldogs took the first game 16-3 in five innings.

TLU improved to 20-4 overall and stretched its overall win streak to 20 games. The Bulldogs, three-time defending champions of the Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference, are 10-0 in the conference race this year after the four-game sweep of the Kangaroos.

TLU has finished as the NCAA DIII Tyler Regional runner-up in two of the last three seasons.

Austin College dropped to 4-22 overall and to 1-11 in the SCAC.

Raycroft has won 10 consecutive decisions. She is 10-2.
