Camille Stevenson has a total of 59 strike outs.

Freshman Lydia Mirabito says their defense has started to improve, but their offense has been struggling the last two games. She believes with hard work during practices they will become a better team.

Senior Erin Waloven is pleased with how the team has been playing this year and hopes for the team to continue to improve and beat their tough competitors.
