The win continues a trend for the Wildcats in their matchups with the Knights: they've now won three in a row.
Grace Masterson and Rylee Walker dominated on the mound. Masterson pitched two innings while giving up no earned runs or hits, while Walker pitched five innings while giving up just one earned (and one unearned) run off four hits. Masterson has been nothing but reliable on the mound: she hasn't given up more than two walks in ten consecutive appearances.
