OXNARD, Calif. - Round one goes to Rio Mesa.

The Spartans blanked Dos Pueblos 3-0 in a battle for first place in the Channel League.

Both teams were undefeated in league but the Spartans controlled the game from start to finish thanks to Nicolette Hunter.

The Harvard-bound senior did it all for the Spartans as they improved to 8-0 in league and 19-1-1 overall.

Hunter pitched a complete-game shutout, striking out 11 batters.

At the plate she knocked in all three runs including a 2-run home run in the 6th inning.
