The University of Delaware softball squad made history Friday afternoon, securing a guaranteed top-four position in the upcoming Conference USA Tournament following a 4-2 triumph over Western Kentucky University on May 1st.
The Blue Hens extended their remarkable home winning streak to 12 games with the victory, while also reaching the 30-win milestone for the third consecutive season – an unprecedented achievement in the program’s history.
Delaware now has an opportunity to claim the tournament’s second seed if they can secure another victory while Liberty falls to Kennesaw State in Saturday’s action.
The win held special significance for three senior players – Katie Scheivert, Sydney Shaffer, and Kristen Luzon – who made program history by becoming the most successful senior class ever recorded. Their collective 136th victory together surpassed all previous senior groups in Blue Hens softball.
The Blue Hens will look to build on their momentum heading into next week’s Conference USA Tournament, where their strong regular season performance has positioned them favorably for postseason success.
