DENTON – North Texas softball will travel for its first conference series of the year against Southern Miss this weekend. The Mean Green are coming off their first home game of the year after hosting Texas Wednesday night in an 8-2 loss and look to start off conference play with a series win over a tough opponent.
HISTORY AGAINST OPPONENT
UNT has a 13-6 record against Southern Miss all-time. The Mean Green have a four-game win streak against the Golden Eagles after sweeping them in April last year at Lovelace Stadium.
The Mean Green haven't played in Hattiesburg, Mississippi since the 2018 season. In the conference series, North Texas won 2-of-3 games that year against the Golden Eagles. The Mean Green snapped a seven-game losing streak by winning game two in decisive fashion 8-1. UNT closed the series with a 2-0 victory led by junior 1B Sam Rea, who hit the team's program record 53rd home run of the season.
UNT's TOP PERFORMERS
Sophomore outfielder Kalei Christensen hit her team-leading sixth home run of the season Wednesday night against Texas. Christensen finished 2-for-4 at the plate and has hit three home runs in her last six games while adding five RBI. Christensen also leads UNT with 18 RBI on the season.
Sophomore infielder Mikayla Smith recorded one of her best offensive games on the season against the Longhorns. Smith finished 2-for-3 at the plate while adding a run. It was her second multi-hit game of the season. Smith has recorded nine runs, seven hits, and five RBI in her second season for the Mean Green.
Freshman RHP Skylar Savage was called on once again in a high-pressure situation against a formidable Texas opponent. Savage entered during the bottom of the second and pitched 5.2 innings while only surrendering two runs and striking out four Longhorns. She now leads the Mean Green pitching staff with a 1.85 ERA.
UP NEXT
North Texas will head back home to try to bounce back against No. 12 Oklahoma State on Tuesday night. The first pitch will be at 6 pm at Lovelace Stadium.
