HARRISONBURG, Va. – Junior pitcher Alissa Humphrey recorded the fourth perfect game in program history, throwing eight strikeouts, and walking zero batters in an 8-0 win against Fairleigh Dickinson University in its third game of the LD&B Invitational at Veterans Memorial Park.

The Dukes improved to 13-5 on the year, while the Knights fell to 8-9.

Humphrey made her ninth start in the circle for JMU and registered her fifth career no-hitter. Additionally, her effort was the program's fourth perfect game and the first since Odicci Alexander in 2021 vs. Delaware on May 12, 2021.

Graduate student Avery Pinder also had a flawless day, going 2-for-2 (1.00) from the plate with one double and one triple, and scoring two runs and two RBIs. Sophomore Jasmine Hall also had a big day on offense with 3-for-4 (.750) performance, highlighted by two triples and one single. Hall also batted in two runs while scoring two.

Freshman Bella Henzler, graduate student Hannah Shifflett, sophomore Abbie Campbell, and freshman Kate Carrier all contributed with one hit apiece.

James Madison got on the scoreboard first during the first inning when Jasmine Hall hit a double to score Shifflett.
Later in the first inning, freshman KK Mathis popped one up which dropped to score Jasmine Hall to put the Dukes ahead by 2.
Henzler rounded up the final run in the first inning from a single to plate Mathis, extending the lead to three runs.
In the fourth inning, JMU added three runs courtesy of hits from Pinder, Jasmine Hall, and Campbell.
