Oberkorn is on a roll when it comes to stolen bases, as she's now snagged at least one in each of the last three games she's played. Another player making a difference was A Bunner, who scored a run while getting on base in three of her four plate appearances.
Meanwhile, it was close, but on Friday Mercy McAuley sidestepped Princeton for a 10-9 win. The victory made it back-to-back wins for the Wolves.

St. Ursula Academy pushed their record up to 8-1 with the victory, which was their third straight on the road. The road wins came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 9.7 runs over those games. As for Mercy McAuley, the victory got them back to even at 6-6.
Mercy McAuley's pitching crew has a crucial task ahead of them: St. Ursula Academy has been making plenty of contact this season, having averaged 10.2 hits per game. It's a different story for Mercy McAuley, though, as they've been averaging 9.9 hits. Given St. Ursula Academy's sizable advantage in that area, the Wolves will need to find a way to close that gap.
