DURHAM, N.C. – The No. 24 ranked Indiana Softball team remains unbeaten on the season as the Hoosiers improved to 9-0 with a 5-1 win against Syracuse in Sunday's finale of the ACC/Big Ten Challenge. The start is now officially the second-best in program history with the top outing coming in 1990 at 11-0.

HEAD COACH SHONDA STANTON
"A full solid weekend. I thought Goodin did a great job coming in to get the win and Josie with the save. Coach Bell did a really good of managing our staff. We got great offensive production this weekend out of Cam, she really had a breakout weekend.

"I couldn't be any more proud of our team, we're going home 9-0 and it's going to be fun to get back and take a look at how many teams are undefeated in the country right now. I really like our fast start."
