It was a warm Friday (the 13th!) afternoon in the G-House when the lady griffins took the field at 1:00 p.m. versus the eagles.

On 3 hits and 1 error, Schoen and her teammates continued the second inning by scoring 3 runs in the bottom; Schoen with the first run in on an error, followed by Alex Penrose, and finally Jamison on an RBI by sophomore Madison Lindsay. The end of the second found the griffin's with a 4-0 lead.
Little action took place in the third, as Schoen pitched incredibly - more zeros across the board for her this inning (0 runs, 0 hits, 0 errors, 0 left on base).
Again in the fourth, no-hits from Schoen. In the bottom half, Jamison scored her third run of the game and the griffins led 5-0 heading into the fifth inning.
