• Mariah Kondravy leads the Blue Hens with a .336 batting average, 42 hits and 10 doubles this season, and with 227 career hits, is 12 shy of the school record. Kondravy is already UD's career leader with 55 doubles and 159 RBI.
• Steinmetz is hitting .319 with team-highs of seven home runs and 31 RBI, while Giovanna Kolofer ranks third on the squad with a .286 batting average. Leanna Gearhart is hitting .281 with a team-leading 21 runs scored, while her 17 stolen bases are the most in the CAA.

SERIES INFORMATION 💪
• Delaware leads the all-time series with UNCW, 32-14, and swept the Seahawks in a regular season series last year in Newark with three one-run victories. However UNCW snapped a five-game losing skid to the Blue Hens by posting an 11-3 verdict at the CAA Tournament.
