Mavs, Bobcats Make History; UL Lafayette Takes Rubber Match with Oregon

Mavs Make History in Reaching 10-0

ARLINGTON, Texas – For the first time in UT Arlington softball history, the program is 10-0 after sweeping a doubleheader at Allan Saxe Field on Saturday.

The Mavericks completed the feat behind a pair of run-rule wins in the Maverick Invitational. UTA beat Princeton 9-1 in the first game before blanking South Dakota State 8-0. The perfect start bested a 9-0 open to the 1980 season.

"It feels good," UT Arlington coach Kristie Fox said. "It is hard to win 10 games in a row at all, so for the girls to come out and stay focused and not let the moments get too big, I am really proud of them.
