Valerie Cagle did it all in Clemson’s best win of the young softball season.

Cagle hurled a complete-game shutout and helped herself with a solo home run late in the 12th-ranked Tigers’ 2-0 win over No. 5 Washington on Sunday at the Clearwater Elite Invitational in Clearwater, Florida. Cagle allowed just five hits and struck out 10 in helping Clemson (6-3) hand the Huskies (9-1) their first loss of the season.

It was also the first win ever over a top-10 opponent for Clemson, which is going through just its third season as a program.
