The first game of the series began Saturday afternoon and the two teams competed for 13.2 innings before suspending the game due to inclement weather and field conditions.

UD took both games of the ensuing doubleheader by scores of 7-4 and 2-0.

» Emily Winburn earned her second CAA Pitcher of the Week award of the season after winning both games of Sunday's doubleheader. For the weekend, she pitched a total of 15.2 innings with 11 strikeouts while allowing just one earned run. Graceyn Frost earned her third conference weekly award as she took home CAA Rookie of the Week honors after getting the win in the first game of the series and throwing a total of 11.2 innings with 10 strikeouts for the week.

» Hanna Garber is atop the Blue & Gold with a .364 batting average and 43 hits including eight home runs. Brooke Glanden leads the team with 30 RBI, and is second with seven home runs. On the pitching side, Frost has a league-high 11 wins and she leads UD with a 2.28 ERA. Winburn has a 2.46 ERA to go along with 10 wins and a team-best 96 strikeouts.

» Towson sits at 12-23 overall on the season after dropping a 6-4 decision to George Mason on Wednesday. The Tigers are 2-7 in CAA play, losing series to James Madison, Drexel and UNCW. As a team, Towson is batting .257, while Briana Ramirez leads the way with a .385 mark.
