Box Score

BOWLING GREEN, Ky. -- WKU Softball earned a perfect ending to the conference home schedule on Sunday with a 7-2 win over Kennesaw State.

With the win over the Owls (7-40 overall, 3-21 CUSA), the Hilltoppers (36-10 overall, 18-6 CUSA) posted a perfect 15-0 conference record at the WKU Softball Complex. WKU becomes the sixth team in Conference USA history to post a perfect home conference record and the first to ever go 15-0.

WKU 7, KSU 2
HOW IT HAPPENED

The Hilltoppers wasted no time getting on the board in the bottom of the first as Kendle White opened the game with a leadoff walk, stole second base, then was pushed to third with a groundout from Annie White.

Morgan Sharpe was responsible for the first RBI of the day as she brought Kendle White in with a single to center field.

Up 1-0 going into the bottom of the second, both Kendle White and Jenna Blanton secured back-to-back RBI with a sacrifice fly and a single to centerfield, respectively.

WKU continued to add runs in the home half of the third as Kennedy Stinson scored the fourth run of the day with a sacrifice fly to score Lauren Satterly, who reached earlier with a walk.

Two hit by pitches and a single from Satterly loaded the bases for the Hilltoppers in the fourth and a two-RBI single from Maci Masters scored two more to push WKU's lead to 6-0.

The seventh and final run of the day came from Stinson in the same inning with her second sacrifice fly of the day.

Stinson's sacrifice fly marked both the 291st run and 257th RBI scored this season, breaking previously set single season records at 290 runs and 256 RBI.

Kennesaw State scored its only two runs of the day in the top of the sixth with an RBI double and a sacrifice fly.

QUOTABLE

"A great way to end our home series, I'm really proud of the team winning every conference series at home," said WKU Softball head coach, Amy Tudor. "I think we posted a 25-1 record at home, so that's great. Big shoutout to all of the alums that came out this weekend. Big shoutout to our fans who support us all year. We hope you continue to support us on the road as we go up to Delaware and a great job by Maddy on senior day on the mound. I thought our offense, all weekend, produced a lot of runs."

NOTABLES

WKU moves to 36-10 at home and 18-6 in Conference USA play.
With the win on Sunday, the Hilltoppers posted a perfect 15-0 record in conference play at home. The 2026 team becomes just the sixth in conference history to post a perfect home record and is the first to go 15-0.
Kennedy Stinson's sacrifice fly in the fourth was responsible for breaking both the single season runs scored and single season RBI record. The run was the 291st run scored and the 257th RBI. Both records were set in 2013 at 290 runs scored and 256 RBI.
The Hilltoppers also finished their home schedule with the best home record in program history at 26-1. The next best home record was 23-2 set in 2022.
