Day struck out 16 and walked one in improving to 6-3. ISU's last no-hitter was by Taylor Baxter against Central Connecticut State on Feb. 27, 2011.
Freshman Jayden Standish hit a solo home run in the sixth to break a scoreless tie. The Redbirds (12-4) added another run later in the inning as pinch-hitter Andrea Coursey's single scored Rebecca Moffett.
