The WKU softball team (20-4, 3-0 C-USA) opened Conference USA play over the weekend, capping a 14-game home stand with an impressive 3-0 series sweep against archrival Middle Tennessee State (13-13, 0-3 C-USA) at the WKU Softball Complex.
The Hilltoppers led MTSU 39-28 in the all-time series, including a 7-3 advantage across the last 10 meetings. WKU was 9-15 when hosting the Blue Raiders on the Hill, but MTSU struggled mightily during its first trek to Bowling Green since the 2018 campaign.
By sweeping the Blue Raiders, WKU established a new program record for the fewest games to reach 20 wins, only taking 24 contests to reach the 20-win mark after needing 25 games last season.
