Offensive Onslaught Helps UT Match School Record Winning Streak

CLERMONT, Fla. - The No. 16 University of Tampa (13-1) softball team tied a school record with its 10th consecutive victory in a 12-3 win over Georgian Court University (0-1) in a five inning game.

Julie Wisniewski was a perfect 3-for-3 at the plate with three runs scored as teammate Becky Vyzas built on her stellar start to the 2011 season with a pair of hits, two runs and a team-leading three RBI. Susan Jallo also scored a pair of runs and drove in two.

After taking a 3-0 lead in the top of the first, Tampa tacked on two in the second prior to a six-run third inning to put the game out of reach.

Deanna Henriott moved to 7-0 on the season as the junior hurler allowed just one hit in 3.0 innings of work. She also struck out six while walking none. Senior Kari Walsh threw the final 2.0 innings for Tampa.
