Tegan Livesay throws no-hitter as UND beats NDSU to set single-season win record
Apr. 26—GRAND FORKS — After UND's 2-0 win over NDSU Sunday afternoon at Albrecht Field, Tegan Livesay was quick to remind her dad that he owed her headphones. The pair had a bet going: if the Fighting Hawks junior pitcher managed to throw a no-hitter, he would buy her a pair.
Livesay exited the pitching circle in the seventh inning after forcing the final out and crouched down in shock. She was promptly swarmed by cheering teammates. Seven innings, five strikeouts, six walks and no hits: Livesay had won the bet with her dad.
But more importantly, she had her first collegiate no-hitter. "It just took my breath away," Livesay said. "Honestly, I've wanted one for so long.
... It was just breathtaking, just amazing to do it on such a special day, Senior Day, and just with a special group of people. ...
We'll see if (my dad) pays up. " The field was awash with emotion during and after the Senior Day ceremonies following the game. UND wasn't just celebrating its six seniors and a series-clinching win over its in-state rival.
