Huskers Sweep Saturday Doubleheader at Secchia
3/21/2026 6:27:00 PM | Softball
East Lansing, Mich. – No. 9/5 Nebraska swept a Saturday doubleheader over Michigan State at Secchia Stadium to remain perfect in Big Ten play (24-5, 6-0 B1G). The Spartans, who have played top ten teams back-to-back to open Conference action, fell to 13-16, 0-6.
Game One Box Score | Game Two Box Score
The Husker offense, which was held at bay in a 2-0 Friday victory, exploded to record a 13-0 victory in game one, and then came back with a 4-1 win in Saturday's second game. Nebraska hit .414 in the weekend series and got standout pitching performances – notably from All-American Jordy Frahm, who twirled a complete game on Friday and then came back in relief to throw three innings in game two on Saturday.
Jacey Schuler started Saturday's game two and went 5.2 innings, scattering nine hits and allowing two earned runs. Autumn Behlke threw the final 1.1 innings, surrendering three base hits. The duo also split Friday's opener, with each allowing one run; Schuler went 3.0 and struck out two, and then Behlke finished the game with four innings of six-hit relief.
In the Saturday opener, MSU threw its freshmen pitchers over the opening four innings – Alex Starr got the start and went 1.2 innings, and Alyssa Galindo came on in the second and threw 2.1, striking out three. Carsyn Cassady threw the final two innings.
Zoie Bernard had a double in each of MSU's Saturday games, and classmate Lyndsey Hooker came off the bench to deliver a pinch-hit single in the nightcap. Both Britain Beshears and Hannah Hawley walked twice in the weekend set.
Michigan State hosts Toledo on Tuesday afternoon (5 pm) before resuming Big Ten play at Ohio State next weekend.
