Hannah Camenzind recorded four hits and four RBIs and the No. 4 Nebraska softball team run-ruled the Iowa Hawkeyes, 9-1, in game one of two on Friday at Bowlin Stadium.

With the win, NU moved to 38-7 (18-1 Big Ten) on the season and extended its win streak to 13 games.

Iowa opened up the scoring with an RBI double in the top of the first.

NU struck back quickly, scoring three runs on three hits in the bottom of the first. Frahm walked and Coor singled to put runners on first and third, and an H. Camenzind single sent Frahm across the plate. Coor scored on a Kuszak single before H. Camenzind went home on a wild pitch to give NU a 3-1 lead.

The Huskers extended the lead to 6-1 after Hoffmann, L. Camenzind and Coor loaded the bases and all three scored on an H. Camenzind single.
