Providence, RI - The Raiders (10-1; 4-0) waited until the third inning of Game 1 to get things started. Senior Brenna Campell (Nashua, NH) got on base to start the inning.  Freshman Ashley Metivier (Hudson, NH) followed with a single up the middle. Another single up the middle by freshman Katie Bachinski (Northfield, MA) plated Campbell for the first Raider run. A 2-RBI triple by freshman Taylor Cournoyer (Mansfield, MA) and an RBI groundout by freshman Marissa Mercier (N. Smithfield, RI) produced all the runs the visitors would need. Senior Alexa Feener (Franklin, NH) picked up her first win of the season as she pitched 4 full innings of 2-hit ball while striking out 8. The Blue and Gray scored three more times in both the sixth and seventh innings to put the game out of reach. Cournoyer led off the sixth with her first career homerun. Freshman Michelle Hunt (Burlington, MA) had an RBI double and junior Amanda Ryan (W. Bridgewater, MA) added an RBI single. Another RBI by Cournoyer in the seventh followed by an RBI single by senior Jess Mellen (Rockland, MA) ended the scoring for Riv. Senior Monica White (Augusta, ME) finished the game and allowed just 1 hit while K'ing 6 in 3 innings of work.

Riv wasted little time setting the tone in Game 2 as freshman Katie Bachinski (Northfield, MA) led off the game with a walk. Senior Monica White (Augusta, ME) followed with a base hit. A perfectly executed double steal set the stage for an RBI sacrifice fly by freshman Taylor Cournoyer (Mansfield, MA). An RBI single by senior Jess Mellen (Rockland, MA) followed by a 2-RBI single by sophomore Karen Waterman (Rutland, VT) put the visitors up 4-0. The Raiders tacked on 5 more runs in the fourth and finished things off with a 3-run fifth to invoke the mercy rule. Consecutive walks by senior Brenna Campbell (Nashua, NH) and freshman Ashley Metivier (Hudson, NH) set the stage for RBI singles by Bachinski and White. An error by the JWU pitcher loaded the bases for junior Amanda Ryan (W. Bridgewater, MA) who cleared them with a 3-RBI triple down the leftfield line. The duo of Campbell and Metivier again started things off the next inning with a single and walk, respectively. An RBI groundout by White followed by a 2-RBI single from freshman Marissa Mercier (N. Smithfield, RI) accounted for the final Raider runs. Monica White picked up her third shutout, and eighth win, by throwing 5 innings of 2-hit ball to go with 7 strikeouts.

The Raiders get a break in the action as they are off until Friday afternoon. That is when they will travel to Boston, MA to take on the Rams of Suffolk University. Game time is 3pm.
