SPRINGFIELD, Mo. - The No. 23 UNO softball team opened tournament play at the MIAA Crossover North with two wins on Friday. UNO took down Central Missouri, 1-0, in its opener, then knocked off Southwest Baptist, 9-1, in five innings.
The Mavericks are now 16-4 on the year and have won six straight. This weekend's games do not count toward the MIAA standings.
