During the two games, Wozniak went 3-for-5 with two home runs, six RBI, two runs, and a double.  Senior Katie Baron went 4-for-6 with a home run, two RBI, and two runs on the day. The Hawks open the season with a 1-1 record, and will take on Abilene Christian and Eastern Michigan tomorrow.
 
NOTES AND QUOTES
"It was a tale of two games today. In game one, we didn't make the necessary adjustments. Game two was very different. We played hard, pitched well, and [freshman P] Lily [Robles] gave us some quality innings. Our hitters absolutely crushed the ball in game two, which we hope to build on." – Monmouth head coach Shannon Salsburg
-Each team scored a run in the first inning of the first contest, including Rosado's RBI single to drive Chloe Howerth.
-After Wozniak belted a solo home run to left field, UMass scored seven runs in the second inning to take an 8-2 lead.
 -The Hawks scored for the third straight inning with Howerth crossing home on a wild pitch to make it 8-3. UMass scored another two runs in the bottom of the third, however, taking a 10-3 advantage.
-In the bottom of the fifth, the Minutewomen ended the game with an RBI single.
-In game two against Georgia Southern, the Hawks jumped out to a 4-0 lead in the first inning. Monmouth used a double steal to plate the first run, as Howerth gave the Hawks the 1-0 lead.
-After homering in game one, Wozniak belted a three-RBI double in the top of the first, scoring Sam Tomasetti, Alex Hozman, and Katie Baron.
-The Eagles tied the game in the bottom of the third with four runs, including a two-RBI double.
-Wozniak continued her career day with a two-run blast in the fourth, and Monmouth took the 8-4 lead with RBI from Baron and Holzman.
-In the bottom of the sixth, Georgia Southern loaded the bases with no outs. Amanda Riley got out of the jam, however, striking out a batter and forcing a double play.
