With the series win, the Navy & Orange secured their 16th straight in American Conference play and extended their streak that dates back to 2024.
TWO FOR DREW
On Monday, senior Drew Detlefsen was named American Conference Player of the Week. The left fielder picked up his second such honor of 2026 after a week with eight hits and seven runs scored on a .381 batting average. He became the first league member to win the award twice this spring.

UTSA wrapped up its only two-week stretch of back-to-back home conference series last weekend. Tuesday’s bout will be UTSA’s 17th straight game in Texas before heading to New Orleans on Friday for a three-game set at Tulane.
