CHICKASHA, Okla. –  Midland (Neb.) pushed across two runs in the third inning and Aliyah Rincon held LSUA hitless Monday to hand the Generals a 2-0 loss in the NAIA Softball Tournament Opening Round.

Second-seeded Midland improved to 43-10. Third-seeded LSUA dipped to 36-13 and will play an elimination round game late this afternoon at a time to be determined against Friends (Kansas), a 3-0 loser Monday to Baker (Kansas).

In her no-hitter, Rincon (27-6) struck out five and walked three for Midland, which also benefitted from some excellent defensive work. The Generals threatened after drawing a pair of walks with one out in the seventh but a line drive turned into a game-ending double play.

LSUA rolled to the Red River Athletic Conference Tournament championship to earn its berth in the NAIA Tournament.
