The University of Arizona softball team finished off a dominating two-week run against the Oregon schools, shutting out host Oregon State 4-0 on Sunday as Alyssa Denham tossed her first career no-hitter.

No. 11-ranked UA (24-7, 6-0 Pac-12) swept six games from the Ducks and Beavers by a combined 48-8.

Denham (7-2) stuck out eight and walked three in throwing the program’s first no-hitter since Taylor McQuillin did so last February.

Jessie Harper homered for the third straight game, giving her 17 for the season. That ranks No. 2 in the country. Malia Martinez also went deep.

Reyna Carranco had two of UA’s five hits and is batting a team-high .462.

UA next hosts No. 18 ASU in a three-game series at Hillenbrand Stadium. The first contest is at 5 p.m. Friday.
