HAMDEN, Conn. — The Quinnipiac Bobcats will look to close the final weekend of the regular season in strong fashion, and make a push for their second MAAC Tournament appearance in program history, when they travel to face the Manhattan Jaspers in a softball doubleheader on Saturday, May 5. Quinnipiac will return home on Sunday to host Saint Peter's in a doubleheader on Senior Day.
LAST GAME (QU 4, SACRED HEART 0)
The Bobcats were led by pitcher Casey Herzog, who recorded her third complete-game shutout of the season. Herzog went the distance and gave up only two hits while striking out seven batters.
Quinnipiac got on the board with three runs in the first inning. Erin Larsen led off the inning with a walk, Lexi Courtney singled, and Keala Cordeiro drew a walk to load the bases for Keilani Finley, who was hit by a pitch to give Quinnipiac a 1-0 lead.
Brighid Douglas followed with a bases-loaded walk to force home another run and give the Bobcats a 2-0 lead. Miranda Magana then reached base on a fielder's choice, scoring another run to give Quinnipiac a 3-0 advantage after the first inning.
Quinnipiac added a run in the bottom of the third. With two outs, Magana lined a double to the right-centerfield fence to put a runner in scoring position. Emily Czaja then singled to the outfield, scoring Magana to give Quinnipiac a four-run advantage.
SENIOR DAY
Prior to Sunday's doubleheader against Saint Peter's, the Bobcats will honor their six seniors: Lexi Courtney, Keala Cordeiro, Emily Czaja, Miranda Magana, Casey Herzog and Keilani Finley. Their careers will be celebrated with a ceremony prior to the first pitch.
QUEEN OF THE PITCHING CIRCLE
Casey Herzog is second in the MAAC in pitching wins (15) and leads the conference in ERA (1.76). Herzog also leads the MAAC with 17 complete games and 162.2 innings, and her 147 strikeouts is second in the conference.
BIG BATS
Junior Erin Larsen and senior Keilani Finley rank among the top power hitters in the MAAC this season. Larsen is third in the MAAC with seven home runs, while Finley has six in a tie for fourth. On the RBI charts, Larsen is tied for sixth with 26, while Finley's four triples are tied for second in the conference.
MULTIPLE BOBCATS EARN MAAC HONORS
Senior Keilani Finley was named the MAAC Offensive Player of the Week on April 10 after driving in 10 runs in a four-game weekend against league foes Niagara and Canisius. She became the latest in a long line of MAAC honorees this year. Sophomore infielder Rachel Marchuk was named the Player of the Week for games through Sunday, March 25 after batting .500 (6-for-12) in five games for the Bobcats, including a home run and two doubles. A week prior, senior pitcher Casey Herzog was named the Pitcher of the Week for games through March 18 after going 4-0 for the Bobcats with three complete games, a 0.54 ERA and 22 strikeouts in 26 innings of work. On March 11, junior Erin Larsen was named the Player of the Week after a strong performance at the USF Under Armour Showcase, batting .500 (8-for-16) with seven RBI in the tournament.
NEVER SAY DIE
Quinnipiac had a memorable 11-9 comeback win over Maine at the USF Under Armour Showcase on March 10. The Bobcats found themselves down 8-0 after two innings, but tied it 9-9 in the sixth on back-to-back homers from Keilani Finley and Erin Larsen, before winning it with two runs in the seventh.
FIRST 2018 WIN A DRAMATIC ONE
Quinnipiac traveled to Orlando, Florida to open its season at the D9 Orange Blossom Tournament, hosted by the University of Central Florida. The Bobcats earned their first win of the year in dramatic fashion, taking a 5-4 victory over Kennesaw State in extra innings on Miranda Magana's two-run walk-off homer in the bottom of the ninth.
LAST YEAR VS. MANHATTAN
The last time the Bobcats took on Manhattan, they split a doubleheader on Senior Day in 2017, winning 4-1 and then falling 10-2. Miranda Magana lead the offensive charge in game one, going 2-for-3 with two RBIs. Keala Cordeiro and Lexi Courtney chipped in an RBI apiece. Casey Herzog earned the win in game one, going the distance while allowing no earned runs on two hits while striking out seven.
In game two, Quinnipiac's offense came off the bat of Erin Larsen, who blasted a two-run homer to left field. However, it was not enough to overcome Manhattan, which tallied 10 runs in six innings.
LAST YEAR VS. SAINT PETER'S
Last season the Bobcats split with Saint Peter's, falling 1-0 and then winning 8-2. Quinnipiac dropped the first game of the doubleheader, but Casey Herzog had an incredible performance on the mound, going the distance and allowing only a run on four hits, while striking out six.
The Bobcats' bats came alive in game two to score eight runs on 13 hits. Taylor Troyan went 2-for-4 with three RBIs and Keala Cordeiro went 3-for-4 with two RBIs. Miranda Magana, Sarah Heimbach and Emily Czaja added an RBI apiece.
