Beteta and FNU have not lost a game in over two weeks, sitting on a ten-game winning streak. 

"She [Beteta] posted a 1.14 earned run average across those five appearances in the circle," said the CAC's press release Monday. "The Lima, Peru, native scattered four hits and allowed two unearned runs in a 5-2 win against Judson University (Illinois) last Saturday."
