CARY, N.C. (April 6, 2025)--Morgan State was unable to complete the three-game series sweep of North Carolina Central on Sunday afternoon, as the Lady Bears fell to the Eagles, 3-2 at Thomas Brooks Park.
 
The loss ended Morgan State's eight-game Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference (MEAC) winning streak.
 
Morgan State, which had its two-game winning streak come to an end, fell to 13-20, 9-3 in the MEAC. NCCU improved to 8-28, 5-7 MEAC.
 
How It Happened
Morgan State, looking for its third consecutive MEAC series sweep, took a 1-0 lead in the opening inning when Olivia Garner grounded out to second to score Amber Rivas.
 
The host Eagles responded in the bottom of the inning when Makiya Graves singled up the middle to score Tyler Suttles to even the score at 1-1.
 
NCCU would add two more runs in the fourth inning to increase its lead to 3-1. Kia Borum singled to left field to score Cameron Frye and Daiyah Bailey singled to right field to bring Codi Mann across the plate for the 3-1 cushion.
 
The Lady Bears cut the deficit in half in the top of the seventh when Jayla Campos reached base on a throwing error, which allowed Morgan Harrell Alvarez to score and make it a 3-2 game.
 
Next Up: Morgan State will host Norfolk State next weekend for a three-game MEAC series at Lois T. Murray Field (April 12-13). Sunday's contest will mark Senior Day for the Lady Bears, who will honor graduate player Victoria Fletcher.
