The Michigan softball team is off to its best start in program history after a 5-1 win over Massachusetts Sunday in the title game of the FAU Kick-Off Classic in Boca Raton, Fla.

Sophomores Amy Knapp and Ashley Lane hit home runs in a three-run sixth inning for the 10-0 Wolverines.

“The sophomore class was waiting for their turn, and they're getting it now. I'm particularly pleased with Ashley and Amy,” coach Carol Huntchins told MGoBlue.com. “They're just really working hard to get settled in and be consistent for us. … It's their turn to help make Michigan great, and I think they're really buying into it."

Senior Jordan Taylor (5-0) earned the win in relief, striking out six and allowing two hits over the final four innings.
