LUBBOCK, Texas --Minot State was on the wrong side of a dominant pitching performance Sunday as senior Taylor Franco threw a no-hitter with five strikeouts for Lubbock Christian, leading the No. 21 Chaparrals over the Beavers 5-0.

Sophomore Reegan Floyd (2-2) started and took the loss in the circle for Minot State (5-4 overall). Freshman Calley Olson was a bright spot out of the bullpen, going two shutout innings while allowing one hit, walking one and striking out one.
