Morgan State University鈥檚 softball team aims for its third consecutive series victory as they host the University of Maryland Eastern Shore (UMES) this weekend for a three-game MEAC series. The series kicks off on March 28 at 3 p.m. with a single game, followed by a doubleheader on March 29 at noon. Morgan State holds a strong 52-15 series lead over UMES, with the Lady Bears winning the last seven matchups against the Hawks.

By the Numbers
  • Morgan State's current record: 5-17, 2-4 MEAC.
  • UMES's current record: 9-20, 1-5 MEAC.
  • Morgan State's home record against UMES: 13-1.
Yes, But

Despite the winning streak over UMES, the Lady Bears recently faced a tough 8-7 loss against George Washington, highlighting potential vulnerabilities heading into the series.

State of Play
  • Morgan State recently won its first MEAC series of the season against North Carolina Central.
  • UMES is coming off a doubleheader split, winning one game against Hampton.
What's Next

If Morgan State continues its momentum and capitalizes on home-field advantage, they could enhance their standing in the MEAC and solidify their position heading into the later part of the season.

Bottom Line

Morgan State needs to leverage their historical dominance over UMES to improve their season and build confidence ahead of upcoming challenges in the MEAC.
