Memorial had to skate by with only a two-run margin when they last took the field, which might have inspired the 15-run drubbing they dealt Northbrook on Friday. The Mustangs were the clear victors by a 17-2 margin over the Raiders. The Mustangs might be getting used to big wins seeing as the team has won 12 matches by seven runs or more this season.

Elise Adams made a splash while hitting and pitching. On the mound, she tossed two innings while giving up no earned runs or hits. Adams was even better at the plate, going 3-for-4 with one home run, three runs, and three RBI. Those three runs gave her a new career-high.
