Softball, tennis teams take first in PBC

With its sights set on the postseason, the UNG softball team has wrapped up a 10th consecutive PBC regular-season championship and its 13th in the past 15 seasons. Ranked fourth nationally, the Nighthawks will host one of two four-team, double-elimination quarterfinal pods in the PBC tournament April 26-27 at Haines and Carolyn Hill Stadium at Lynn Cottrell Park.

The UNG softball team tallied a 21-3 PBC mark this spring in PBC play, with a 43-8 overall record. Now the Nighthawks will take aim at a 10th straight PBC tournament title before embarking on the NCAA postseason, where they will look to add a third national championship after earning NCAA crowns in 2023 and 2015.

Pitching has been an integral part of UNG's success once again, with Tybee Denton tallying 175 strikeouts, a 1.48 ERA and a 23-2 record in 147 innings and Kristen Davis recording 108 strikeouts, a 2.14 ERA and a 17-5 record in 124 1/3 innings.

A balanced offense has tallied a .342 batting average with 58 home runs, 99 doubles and 7.2 runs per game.

The men's tennis team is ranked eighth nationally with a 12-6 record and 3-2 PBC mark and will also compete April 26-28 in the PBC tournament in Columbus, Georgia.
