Notebook...
Leslie Svoboda's homer at North Dakota April 20 put her in the career lead, breaking a tie with Nicole Vos at 30. Svoboda goes into this week with 33 round-trippers...Junior Jenifer McDowell tied a school record with three home runs against Augustana April 17, driving in 8 runs in a 9-3 win. The feat tied Michala Cimino's performance in 1994 on both counts. It also earned her NCC player of the week honors for April 17-22. Tracy Carey also drove in 8 runs in a 1994 game, which at the time was an NCAA II record. All three now share the UNO record..Sara Sortino, with 78, is tied for the career record with Mindy Hahne, 1995-98...Despite having 19 games canceled by the weather, the Mavericks now registered their 18th straight 30-win season...Brooke Wagner had a 13-game hitting streak end last weekend in the NCC tournament...Cheris Kuster became the fifth Mav to earn all-NCC honors four straight years. Svoboda, Sortino and Alison Jergenson joined her on the 19-member team...Jergenson, Kellyn Kramolisch and Wagner all were named to the NCC all-academic team last week as well.
