Syracuse, N.Y. - Le Moyne senior Marnie Sundberg tossed her first no-hitter of the season to lead the top-seeded Dolphins to a 3-0 win over Adelphi in the final game of the day at the 2003 NCAA Division II Northeast Softball Regional at the Thomas J. Niland Athletic Complex. The Dolphins (44-8) host C.W. Post (35-10) in tomorrow's winners' bracket final at 3 p.m.

Sundberg struck out nine and walked one. She faced one batter over the minimum. The program's all-time leader in nearly every pitching category, Sundberg pitched her 13th shutout of the season and improved to 22-5.

The Dolphins pushed across single runs in the second, third and fifth innings. The first two runs came on wild pitches. Freshman Jennifer Winters scored on a wild pitch to put the Dolphins up 1-0 in the second and Annie Jacobs scored in the third. Jacobs tacked on an insurance run in the fifth with her fifth home run of the season. Jacobs went 2-for-3 at the plate.
