KANSAS CITY, Mo. - Omaha softball (26-9, 6-3 Summit) heads to Kansas City Saturday for a three-game set with the Roos (4-29, 1-8 Summit) as just three Summit League series remain on the docket for the Mavericks. Action in Kansas City gets underway with a doubleheader on Saturday, April 12 at 12 p.m. CT and 2 p.m. CT. The series concludes on Sunday, April 13 at 11 a.m. CT. All three games will take place at the Urban Youth Academy and air on the Summit League Network powered by Midco Sports Plus.

Omaha enters the weekend winners of six of their last seven, including the last five-straight. Currently sitting in second in the Summit League, Omaha is 3-0 in conference road games this season.

Omaha twin sisters Maddia Groff and Rylinn Groff swept the week's Kwik Star Summit League Softball Peak Pitcher and Performer of the Week honors, believed to be the only time in history that siblings have received the honors in the same week. The sophomores from Omaha's Marian High School combined to form the battery that paced the Mavericks to a 4-0 record the week of March 31.

Left-handed pitcher Maddia, Summit League Kwik Star Peak Performer of the Month for March and four-time weekly honoree this season, went 3-0 allowing just one run and seven hits over 16.1 innings (0.43 ERA) with 26 strikeouts and no walks. In her win at Creighton on April 1, the pitcher extended her stretch of consecutive batters retired to 38 over four games, putting down 15 of 16 Bluejays before leaving the game. She ultimately returned to close out the game in the seventh, coaxing a 4-6-3 double play to secure the 3-2 win, essentially saving her own victory. Her other two wins were combined shutouts Saturday and Sunday at North Dakota State, to improve her league-best record to 16-4.

Catcher Rylinn forged a .461 average (6-13) and a .611 OBP at the plate, scoring five runs and ripping her first home run as a Maverick in Saturday's game one win over NDSU. Starting every game at catcher for Omaha this season, this is Rylinn's first weekly honor as a Maverick. Defensively, she continues to shine as well. The opposition failed to steal a base in the four games this week, with Rylinn nailing the only runner attempting to steal.

Omaha softball returns home on Friday, April 18 for a doubleheader with South Dakota at 2 p.m. CT at Connie Claussen Field, celebrating the 50th anniversary of the 1975 AIAW National Championship. Tickets are on-sale now at OMavs.com/Tix.
