OMAHA, Neb. - The UNO softball team climbed eight spots to No. 13 in the National Fastpitch Coaches Association Top 25 poll, released on Wednesday.
Nebraska Omaha (30-6, 7-1) was riding an 11-game winning streak coming into the week before splitting with Northwest Missouri State on Tuesday. The win streak propelled the Mavs from 21st to 13th, the highest ranking UNO has held since March 2 when they were No. 9.
The Mavs have won 20 of their past 22 games entering this weekend and are tied with Emporia State with the best MIAA conference mark at 7-1. In the Mavs' recent 12-game burst, they outscored their opponents 62-17 and knocked out eight home runs to just one for their opponents.
The Mavs have played eight conference road games over the course of two weeks, but finally UNO will host MIAA conference games this weekend, as Central Missouri and Southwest Baptist visit Claussen-Westgate Field for a pair of doubleheaders.
On Friday, UNO and the Central Missouri Jennies square off at 1 p.m. and 3 p.m. UNO defeated Central Missouri, 1-0, on March 18 at the MIAA Crossover South. Central Missouri is 20-14 overall and 5-3 in the MIAA. UNO is 12-3 all-time against the Jennies and has won six in a row in the series.
On Saturday, the Southwest Baptist Bearcats come to Omaha for a 1 p.m. doubleheader as well. The Mavs beat Southwest Baptist, 9-1, in five innings back on March 18 at the MIAA Crossover South. Southwest is 4-16 this year and 2-8 in the MIAA. UNO owns a 10-0 all-time record against the Bearcats.
