No. 3 Nebraska softball (42-6, 22-1) faced off against Penn State (32-19, 11-12) in a Saturday doubleheader with a chance to win the outright Big Ten regular-season title. The Huskers achieved the mark, sweeping the Nittany Lions and becoming the conference's regular-season champions.

This is Nebraska's first outright Big Ten regular-season title, and its second regular-season championship, after earning a share with Michigan in 2014. This also marks the Huskers' 11th regular-season title and 21st overall conference title. Nebraska also now holds a 17-game win streak, the longest active win streak in the country and ties for the fourth-longest win streak in program history.

The Huskers triumphed over Penn State 5-1 and 10-4 to claim the title, combining for 17 hits, 13 RBIs and two home runs. The Nittany Lions tallied 12 hits, five RBIs and two home runs.

Hannah Coor led Nebraska on the day, batting a combined 3-of-7 with one walk for four RBIs. Jesse Farrell, Lauren Camenzind and Kacie Hoffmann also earned three hits on the day, combining for six RBIs. Farrell and Camenzind each struck a home run as well. Jordy Frahm and Ava Kuszak both totaled two hits.

Frahm (16-4) earned the game-one win in the circle, tossing seven strikeouts against four hits and one run across 7.0 innings. She also grabbed her 10th save of the season in game two, becoming the third DI pitcher to have 15 wins and 10 saves in the same season and the 29th DI pitcher with 10 saves in a season.

Frahm pitched the final couple of innings for Nebraska after Alexis Jensen (20-2) got the start. Jensen earned seven strikeouts and surrendered seven hits and four runs through 5.0 innings.

Nebraska concludes the series and the regular season on Sunday morning. The first pitch is set for 11 a.m. CT on the Big Ten Network.
