Game 44 Final Score
Monmouth (11-34, 7-14 CAA) – 4
Towson (20-25, 8-13 CAA) – 2
 
TOWSON, MD. – Izzy Bonacci tossed her second complete game of the weekend and Monmouth scored in four different innings to cap the weekend with a 4-2 win over Towson on Sunday afternoon at Tiger Stadium. With the win, the Hawks picked up their second CAA series road victory of the 2025 season and third overall.
 
Bonacci (3-6) was brilliant in the circle, scattering seven hits over a full seven innings of work while striking out five and allowing just one earned run. The sophomore right-hander once retired nine straight Tigers in the middle innings and needed just 95 pitches to complete the game.
 
Monmouth's offense struck early as Liv Smith singled as the game's second batter and was later driven in on a Bonacci single. After Towson took the lead after two, the Hawks quickly responded to tie things up on a single to center by freshman catcher Clare Picone, plating sophomore shortstop Giana Scotti.
 
Tied at two in the fourth, Kylee McLain, Gianna Stern, and Isabella Slape all singled to load the bases for Scotti. Scotti was hit by a pitch to drive in the go-ahead run. Monmouth added insurance in the sixth after Slape, who collected her first multi-hit game of the season, reached on a two-out knock. Scotti then walked, and Smith followed with an RBI single.
