PEPPER PIKE, Ohio ­– Trevecca Nazarene University showed how it won the inaugural Great Midwest Athletic Conference regular season title with a doubleheader sweep of Ursuline College on Saturday (April 27) afternoon. The visiting Trojans won both games by a score of 9-0, although game one was called after five innings.

Ursuline finishes the regular season at 9-21 overall and 0-10 in the Great Midwest Athletic Conference. Trevecca Nazarene enters the postseason at 25-10 overall and 12-0 in conference play while riding the high of an eight-game winning streak.
