WKU Softballs’ (15-5) five-game winning streak came to an end after a tough 1-0 loss to Eastern Kentucky University (22-9) at home on Wednesday night.
The Hilltoppers had not seen any action since March 24 when they pulled off a 2-1 upset of then-No. 7 Kentucky.
WKU had originally planned on opening Conference USA play with a four-game away series with Marshall but the trip was postponed due to a positive COVID-19 test in the Hilltoppers’ Tier 1 testing group.
“It’s a tough one to lose that way, it happens in the game of softball,” head coach Amy Tudor said after the game.
