LAKE CHARLES, La. (UNLVRebels.com) — UNLV softball swept the competition in the Evangeline Bank and Trust Invitational, claiming wins against Manhattan and Memphis Sunday to record a 5-0 mark for the tournament.

Alanna Thiede threw a no-hitter as the Rebels run-ruled Manhattan 8-0 and center fielder Janyssa Martin scored three runs in a 5-1 victory over Memphis.

"A lot of people stepped up and we hit well throughout the order," UNLV head Kristie Fox said. "I'm really impressed with the way this team handled its first road trip from the time change to the weather and everything in between."

UNLV hosts Houston, New Mexico State and No. 5 Washington in the Boyd Gaming Classic at Eller Media Stadium in Las Vegas this weekend. 

"Alanna's no-hitter gives us a lot of confidence in our rotation moving forward."

UNLV takes the field starting Friday, March 4, at 3 p.m. against defending WAC champion New Mexico State before facing Houston to close the day.

April Visser slugged two home runs, driving in five runs to power UNLV's offense over Manhattan 8-0 Sunday morning.

Visser homered in the bottom of the third, plating Hailey Schmaltz and Lauryn Barker before bringing in Schmaltz home again in the fourth with a second blast to right center.

Siena Sandoval brought in UNLV's penultimate run with a pinch-hit, bases-loaded walk in the fifth before Schmaltz drilled a sacrifice fly to right, scoring Sofia Morales to end the game by run rule.

Schmaltz hit 2-for-2, scoring two runs and batting in another in her first start of the season at catcher.

Alyssa Trejo drove in Janyssa Martin on a groundout in the top of the fifth. Martinez snuck an RBI single through the right side of the infield.
