Players to Watch (CSI):  Emily Koerick continues to be the standout for CSI in a dual role.  The sophomore is batting .419 at the plate, leading CSI with 13 hits and eight runs scored.  She has been just as good in the circle, going 2-3 overall with a 2.14 ERA, fanning 48 batters in 36 innings, allowing just a .215 batting average against.  Samantha MacPherson continues to swing a hot bat.  She is clearing .355 with a team best six extra-base hits, including five doubles and a team-high five RBI.  Elizabeth Moore is tied with MacPherson with a team-best four walks this season while Victoria Whalen powered in a home run the last time CSI faced off against QC.
Players to Watch (QC):  Queens has a tremendous 1-2 punch in Marisa Sagona and Noelle Bryggman.  Sagona is batting tops on the team at .435, tied with Bryggman with 10 hits, adding a team-best five RBI.  She and Bryggman are also tied for the team lead with four stolen bases each.  Bryggman is batting .417, and leads the team with five runs scored.  Alyssa Wilkinson is second on the team with four RBI this season.  Emma Wimmer leads the charge in the circle for Queens, as she sports a 1-3 record and a 5.73 ERA in 25.2 innings, leading the team with 11 strikeouts.  Adrianna Fracchioni has pitched 22.2 innings, allowing a 5.87 ERA.
News & Notes: After a 24-year lapse, CSI and Queens renewed their rivalry earlier this month, with a doubleheader won by CSI by scores of 6-0 and 9-4.  Emily Koerick tossed a four-hit shutout in the opener, and CSI hit three home runs in a 9-4 win (MacPherson, Porcaro, Whalen).  Since climbing near the .500 mark, CSI has lost three-straight and are looking to right the ship, while the Knights are looking to overturn a five-game losing streak.  The losses to CSI were their first of the season, and they then scored an impressive 7-4 win over Molloy College, but after losing in the second game of that series, they fell in a doubleheader at St. Thomas Aquinas and then again at Mercy College.  Today marks their third-straight ECC road doubleheader before they return home to face first-place Bridgeport.
