MADIERA BEACH, Fla. - For the second time in D-I program history and the fifth time all-time, North Florida softball delivered a perfect-game performance on the back of seven flawless innings from two-way star Allison Benning to close out the Make It Happen Games with a 6-0 win against Siena on Sunday afternoon.

The Ospreys earned its fourth win of the weekend and 14th victory overall this season in spectacular fashion in the circle. It was the first perfect game by UNF since Morgan Clausen achieved the feature on Feb. 29, 2020, against Stony Brook in a 1-0 win.

Benning ended the weekend with one of the best stat lines that will ever be seen from a two-way player. She batted .700 with three homer, eight RBI and 11 intentional walks, while pitching a 2-0 weekend with 15 strikeouts in 12 innings pitched to go along with no earned runs and one hit allowed in her two appearances (.027 opponent BA).
