Carson-Newman (11-3) is in the midst of one of its best months during Tom Griffin's tenure as the 11 wins so far are the most since winning 12 in April 2017. The last time the Eagles won more than a dozen in a single month came during March 2010 when the club went 17-2 winning its final 11 in-a-row.
The two clubs have played twice prior to this weekend's series with the Eagles coming out ahead 13-4 on Feb. 27, 2005 and 6-5 on Feb. 12, 2012. The Eagles have played six teams from Great Midwest Conference in their history posting a 18-4 record. C-N swept Alderson Broaddus in a four-game two weeks ago and has Trevecca on the docket in 2019 on April 16.
