UNCW Softball sweeps College of Charleston in home series during alumni weekend

The UNCW (University of North Carolina Wilmingseas) Seahawks Softball team put on an impressive display during their home series against the College of Charleston, securing a sweep at Boseman Field over the course of the weekend. The series took place from April 22 to 24, 2023, and marked a significant milestone for the Seahawks as they continued their pursuit of excellence in the Colonial Athletic Association (CAA).

Boseman Field, located on the campus of the University of North Carolina Wilmington, has long been a source of pride for the Seahawk community, and the softball team's dominance there was a testament to their hard work and dedication. The three-game series began on Friday, April 22, with the Seahawks securing a 5-3 victory over the College of Charleston.

Saturday's doubleheader saw the Seahawks continue their winning streak, with game one resulting in a 7-3 victory and game two ending in a more narrow 2-1 win. The Seahawks' pitching was a standout feature throughout the series, with their pitchers allowing only six runs across all three games.

The sweep was a significant achievement for the UNCW softball team, not only because it secured them a crucial win in the CAA standings but also because it came during alumni weekend. The presence of former players and supporters added an extra layer of excitement to the games and served as a reminder of the rich history and tradition of Seahawk softball.

With the sweep, the UNCW Seahawks improved their overall record to 28-15 and their conference record to 13-5, placing them firmly in contention for a top spot in the CAA. The team's next challenge comes in the form of a road series against James Madison University, starting on April 29, 2023. The Seahawks will be looking to carry the momentum from their impressive performance against the College of Charleston into their upcoming games as they continue their quest for success in the CAA and beyond.
