NEWARK, Del. – The University of Delaware Blue Hens softball squad extended their remarkable winning streak to 10 games after completing a doubleheader sweep against Kennesaw State on Saturday. The team dominated with scores of 9-1 in a shortened five-inning contest and 9-4 in the second game.<\/p>

The victories marked Delaware’s third consecutive Conference USA series sweep, showcasing the team’s continued dominance in league play. Two Blue Hens players reached significant career milestones during the games – Gianna Costaro achieved her 100th career hit with a home run blast, while Katie Scheivert appeared in her 200th collegiate game.<\/p>

This 10-game winning streak represents just the seventh time in Delaware softball program history that the team has achieved such a feat, and marks the fourth occurrence within the past three seasons. Additionally, the Blue Hens’ nine consecutive conference victories ties the fourth-longest such streak in the program’s record books.<\/p>

The sweep continues Delaware’s impressive run through Conference USA competition as they build momentum heading into the latter portion of the season.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
