The Morgan State Lady Bears were swept in a three-game series by the Delaware State Hornets, losing 4-0 and 8-2 in a doubleheader on Friday, followed by a 6-4 defeat in the final game. Previously, Morgan State had been performing well, winning seven of their last nine games, but this series marked a disappointment as they struggled offensively and defensively against a strong Hornets team. Delaware State has now won five of the last six matchups against the Lady Bears, putting them at a record of 13-16, with both teams in MEAC competition. The Lady Bears will look to regroup next weekend against rival Howard University.

  • Morgan State scored a total of six runs across three games.
  • Delaware State scored a cumulative 18 runs, winning all three games in the series.
State of Play

What's Next

The Lady Bears will host the Howard Bison next weekend in a crucial MEAC series on April 11-12, which includes a doubleheader on Saturday. Howard, the defending MEAC champions, is currently on a nine-game win streak and poses a significant challenge for Morgan State.

Bottom Line

Despite a strong recent performance, the Lady Bears need to address their offensive struggles quickly to stay competitive as they face a formidable opponent in Howard next week. This upcoming series will be critical for regaining momentum in their season.
