RENO, Nev. - After splitting a doubleheader with Sacramento State last Friday, the Nevada softball team will visit UC Davis for the Aggie Invitational where the Wolf Pack will face Stony Brook and the Aggies on Saturday, March 12, before taking on Seattle and Colgate on Sunday, March 13.

The Pack's 12-game win streak, tied for the second-longest win streak in program history, was snapped in the second-game of the doubleheader against the Hornets. Nevada was one more victory shy of matching the program record of 13-consecutive wins set back in 2008.

Nevada will be meeting Stony Brook and Colgate for the first time in program history while it goes up against UC Davis for the second time this season. The Pack trailed by two runs in the bottom of the seventh in the first meeting on Feb. 19 but came back to tie the game at 7-7 and win the game in extra innings, 8-7, on an RBI single from Megan Sweet.

• McKenna Isenberg, Brooke Bolinger and Chase Redington have also combined to lead the conference with a .250 opponent's batting average and 90 strikeouts.
