Softball Sweeps Weekend Series At NC State
RALEIGH, N.C. - The Carolina softball team (23-25, 10-9 ACC) earned its first conference series sweep since 2019 on Sunday, taking both games of the doubleheader over NC State to go 3-0 against the Wolfpack on the weekend.
The Tar Heels took game one, 4-2, before earning a come-from-behind 5-3 victory in game two.
Kiersten Licea went 4-of-5 at the plate on the day, hitting three home runs and combining for a team-best four RBIs. It is the first time the fifth-year player has ever hit two home runs in the same game.
Alex Brown had Carolina's fourth home run of the day, but she hit an inside-the-park home run, the Tar Heels' first since 2010, that scored three.
