Cougars Clinch No. 3 Seed in CAA Tournament with Sweep of NC A&T

GREENSBORO, N.C. – College of Charleston continued its red-hot surge by completing a sweep of North Carolina A&T with an 11-6 victory on Saturday.

The Cougars (30-23, 20-7 CAA) earned their fifth conference sweep of the season and clinched the No. 3 seed in next week's CAA Tournament in Buies Creek, N.C. Charleston also extended its winning streak to seven, the team's longest since 2014.

The Cougars will open postseason play against No. 6 Hofstra on May 7 at 2:30. This is the highest Charleston has been seeded since 2017.

After starting the season 5-14, the Cougars have run off 25 wins in 34 games since March 7 to earn their first 30-win campaign since 2018. The seven conference series victories tied the school record while the 20 conference wins established a new standard.

Halle Cannon led the way at the plate with a pair of two-run homers, and Jay Wrightsman and Austy Miller also had notable afternoons. Wrightsman stole two bases to give her a school season record 29 and Miller ran her hitting streak to 15, the longest by a Cougar in the CAA era.

Game Summary
