Katelyn Williams
Williams matched her career high with three hits as she was 3-for-3 at the plate. She connected on a pair of doubles for only the second time in her career as it was also her team-leading 15th multiple-hit game this year.
It marked the fifth time this year where a Red Raider had two or more doubles in a game and the first time since Mikey Kenney did so on March 13 against Fairfield.
