ABOUT THE MARAUDERS
• After losing the last three of four games to non-conference opponents, the Millersville University softball team looks to begin a new chapter of their schedule--PSAC play--on Friday, March 29 as they travel to East Stroudsburg and then return home the day after for a home doubleheader against Kutztown.
• As the team heads into conference play, five Marauders have batting averages of .300 or higher and is led by Faith Willenbrock's .402. Willenbrock has sent seven home runs out of the park and owns a .793 slugging percentage which ranks fifth in the conference.
• A quick start is key. The Marauders are undefeated when they hold a lead after the first inning. They are even better when holding the lead after two and three innings with an 11-0 record.  
• Brianna Battavio has recorded a .309 batting average so far this year. She is tied for the most runs on the team with 21. She is tied with Allie Janowiak with most walks this season with 14. Battavio also leads the team with nine multi-hit games.
• Janowiak hit two key home runs last week including a three-run bomb in the 7-6 game two victory over Lock Haven. Janowiak came up with key at-bats in the Mansfield sweep, going 4-for-4 in game one and a double in game two.
• The Marauders are 11-1 when they scored more than six runs in a game.
