COLUMBIA, S.C. – Senior shortstop Missy Perkowski went 4-for-4 with two runs scored and two RBIs to highlight a season-high 15-hit attack as Kennesaw State opened the Gamecock Invitational with a 9-1 victory over Connecticut Friday in Columbia, S.C.

The Owls (11-3) followed up that performance with a 7-0 setback to host South Carolina in their second game of the day.

A five-run second inning gave Kennesaw State an early lead, and a three-run sixth inning sealed the win over the Huskies (3-12).

Joining Perkowski with multiple hits against Connecticut were junior catcher Courtney Sutter (2-for-3, three RBIs), senior first baseman Megan Veringa (two hits, including a home run), and sophomore left fielder Katie Cannington, who collected a pair of hits and scored a run.
 
Logan Viers and Morgan Sikes (4-0) each worked three innings apiece, allowing the Huskies four hits and one run.

In the nightcap, South Carolina (15-2) scored four runs in the first inning, two in the fourth and one in the sixth to record the win. Jessica Elliott (10-0) and Nickie Blue, combined on the two-hit shutout as the Owls were held scoreless for the first time in 2016.
 
Kennesaw State returns to action on Saturday (Mar. 5) when it takes on Michigan State at 11 a.m. in Day Two of the Gamecock Invitational.

NOTES
* With her 4-for-4 day against Connecticut, senior shortstop Missy Perkowski matched her career high for most hits in a game. She also had four hits versus Jacksonville on March 28, 2015.
* The four-hit game by Perkowski was her team-leading seventh multiple-hit game of the season.
* Senior first baseman Megan Veringa's solo home run against Connecticut was the 17th of her career and moved her two within two of moving into the program's career Top 10 list.
