24 stolen bases and counting for @maddyverm.

It's the most stolen bases in a season by a Saluki in 25 years and she's now two shy of breaking SIU's single-season record.

She fast, she real fast 💨 @maddyverm

⚫Her three hits tie a season-high
⚫Back-to-back three hit games for the 2nd time in her career- first time since 2018.
