Softball continues its out of conference schedule this Sunday when the Pioneers play host to the Yale Bulldogs for a doubleheader. Games start at noon.
The Pioneers come off a successful weekend where they won two of their last three games in the UMBC Tournament in Baltimore.
The Pioneers also played four games in Boston, two a piece versus Boston University and Boston College, this past week. They will also play two games tomorrow in Brooklyn, N.Y. versus LIU-Brookyn and two games on Saturday in New Rochelle, N.Y. versus Iona to cap off the week.
SHU has been paced by freshman infielder Ashley McDonough of Lompoc, Calif.
McDonough was voted the NEC Rookie of the Week for March 20-26 by batting .420 with eight hits and two home runs at the UMBC tournament.
Freshman infielder Amanda Bradley of Langley, B.C. has also been a tough out for the Pioneers. She leads the team with .310 batting average, six doubles and 19 total bases. Senior outfielder Jen Place is also batting an impressive .302 with a team-leading six RBI's.
Yale's offense will be led by catcher/infielder Megan Enyeart. Enyeart leads the team with a .360 batting average and 12 runs scored. Shortstop Aracelis Torres will also be difficult to stop, as she is batting .333, leading the team with 43 total bases.
The games will be spirited as both teams will look to get wins in the final week leading up to conference play.
This will be the Pioneers' last weekend of out of conference games, as they will begin NEC play next weekend with a pair of games versus Mount St. Mary's.
