SCOUTING PROVIDENCE
Providence heads into Tuesday's matchup with a 14-12 overall record and a 7-2 mark in BIG EAST play. The Friars are coming off a weekend series win at Seton Hall, where they took two of three games. They also opened conference play with a program-best 7-1 start. Additionally, their eight-game winning streak, which also tied a school record, came to an end over the weekend.

The Friars have three players who are closing in on 100 career hits. Sofia Peterson (Bordentown, N.J.), Cameron Dunn (Bothell, Wash.) and Elisa Smith (Glenn Allen, Va.) are all within single digits of the milestone.

Emily Jonte (Allen, Texas) leads the Friars with a .407 batting average. Last week she was named BIG EAST Player of the Week following a standout performance in Providence's series sweep of DePaul. The senior batted .667 (6-for-9) with seven RBI and five runs scored, while posting a .889 slugging percentage and a .727 on-base percentage for the series.

Dunn has had an impressive season for Providence so far. The infielder has been featured on the BIG EAST Weekly Honor Roll three times and leads the team with 29 RBI, 10 home runs and a .919 slugging percentage. Her ten home runs are tied for second in the BIG EAST and her .919 slugging percentage puts her at second in the conference.

In the circle, junior Alyssa Twomey (Warwick, R.I.) leads the pitching staff with a 6-1 record and a 3.23 ERA. She has recorded 35 strikeouts in 39.0 innings pitched. Twomey's 3.23 ERA ranks second in the BIG EAST.
