Brown became the first NCAA Division I team to qualify for the 64-team regional field over the weekend, when it beat Penn 1-0 and 20-6 to sweep the best-of-3 Ivy League championship series in two straight games. Regional play is set for June 1-4.
The Bears have won 10 of their last 11 games, but don’t rank among the hottest teams in Division I. That distinction goes to Bethune-Cookman, winners of its last 13 games. The Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference also has the somewhat dubious distinction of having the team with the longest losing streak, as well, as Coppin State finished its season with a 0-44 record.
The accompanying list identifies the Division I teams with the longest active winning streaks, through games of Sunday. The only team that is ranked in the top 10 in this week’s PG Crosschecker Top 50 is No. 5 Rice, winners of 10 in a row. |
