RIC softball pitcher ties NCAA record

Rhode Island College senior pitcher Nicole Riley tied a NCAA Division III softball record for the most consecutive wins today in a 3-1 victory over Curry college in Milton, Mass.

Riley, a North Providence resident, notched her 35th straight victory, tying the record established by Janet Nagle from St. Thomas (Minn.) in 2006.

Riley allowed just four hits and one run, to go along with eight strikeouts.

Riley last lost, 7-0, to Plattsburgh State on Mar. 17. 2006 during the Anchorwomen¹s spring trip to Florida. She did not lose the remainder of the season to finish with a 26-2 overall record.

She is currently 12-0 on the season with a 0.17 ERA and 87 strikeouts. She has allowed just five runs, only two of which are earned, in 79.1 innings pitched. She is RIC's all-time career wins leader, posting a 60-15 record.
