The No. 9 Nebraska Cornhuskers snapped the nation's second-longest winning streak on Friday night, handing the No. 7 UCLA Bruins a 4-1 loss at Bowlin Stadium in Lincoln, Neb. Nebraska softball star Jordy Frahm set the single-season program record for saves in the victory.

Why it matters

The win extends Nebraska's own win streak to 14 games and keeps the Huskers atop the Big Ten standings alongside UCLA. The two teams could be on a collision course for the conference title, making this an important early-season matchup between Top 10 programs.

The senior saved her eighth game of the season, passing head coach Rhonda Revelle for sole possession of the single-season saves record. Hannah Camenzind provided the big hit, crushing a two-run home run in the fifth inning to give the Huskers a 2-1 lead they would not relinquish.
